omg I love it!! That's such a good scene for them, and I love getting Rhaenyra's thoughts on it here, the way he's everything exciting and fun in her world. And the way she hopes he sees her, recognizes that certain something in her?? YES. So much yes.

(Also I have to lol at the 'this time don't fucking leave' bit...I'm sure Caraxes out in the dragonpit agrees.)
