"before all that though, i'm eager to do my best to challenge your leading score to the best of my ability."

time takes an odd quality amidst four walls, as if it doesn't pass at all, yet everything happens all at once. it's difficult to remember their arrival in king's landing now, the harvest feast, the tightly wound up concern and anger that simmered low in their stomach. days had passed instead in a haze, a fever burning through most of their coherent thoughts, leaving shapes and memories of nightmares in its place. when they start feeling like themselves again, they learn more and more- but many pieces seem to still be missing. while it doesn't feel great to have most visitors when they still feel somewhat out of their element — this is not just another visitor. when jingyi is told amahle is at the door, their eyes light up, and they urge the guard to let her in immediately. there is still a pallor to their skin and a redness around their eyes, but the antidote had done its job. they felt better than they did in days, having showered earlier today and dressed up in their proper robes, seeking that normalcy again. when the liege of eyrie steps inside, a small smile spreads across their lips, slowly getting up from the chair they were sitting on, a small bow of their head. "amahle — it is so good to see you."
