LET ME DO WHAT I DO BEST

Daario had brought her a flower or a sprig of some plant every evening when he made his report … to help her learn the land, he said. Waspwillow, dusky roses, wild mint, lady’s lace, daggerleaf, broom, prickly ben, harpy’s gold. – A Storm of Swords

As a girl, though … she was once smitten with a young knight from the stormlands who wore her favor at a tourney and named her queen of love and beauty [gifting her a crown of flowers]. -- A Dance With Dragons

❝  soon,  you’ll  be  home  with  me.  ❞

❝you  dare  banish  me ?  ❞

❝  mark  my  words.  ❞

❝  have  you  heard ?  ❞

❝  please  do  not  repeat.  ❞

❝  you  and  i,  friend,  will  go  down  in  history !  ❞

❝  we’ll  be  rich !  ❞

❝  they’ll  have  some  more  to  talk  about.  ❞

❝  a  fascinating  mystery …  ❞

❝  the  biggest  con  in  history !  ❞

❝  it’s  time  to  take  your  place  in  life.  ❞

❝  okay … i  can  take  a  hint.  ❞

❝  life  is  full  of  choices.  ❞

❝  i’m  learning  fast.  ❞

❝  i  was  never  complete  until  i  found  you.  ❞

❝  one  step  at  a  time.  ❞

❝  my  heart  still  needs  to  know …  ❞

❝  where  are  you ?  ❞

❝  did  you  hear  something ?  ❞

❝  hello !  anybody  home ?  ❞

❝  things  i  almost  remember.  ❞

❝  hey !  what  are  you  doing  in  here ?  ❞

❝  hold  on  a  minute !  ❞

❝  how  did  you  get  in  here ?  ❞

❝  do  you  see  what  i  see ?  ❞

❝  perhaps …  that  all  depends  on  who’s  looking  for  him.  ❞

❝  were  you  a  vulture  in  another  life ?  ❞

❝  i  have  very  few  memories  of  my  past.  ❞

❝  can  you  help  me  or  not ?  ❞

❝  i  knew  you  were  crazy  from  the  beginning.  ❞

❝  really  wish  we  could  help  but …  ❞

❝  right  in  the  palm  of  our  hand.  ❞

❝  i  appreciate  your  apology.  ❞

❝  apology ?  who  said  anything  about  an  apology ?  ❞

❝  please,  don’t  talk  anymore,  okay ?  it’s  only  gonna  upset  me.  ❞

❝  i’ll  be  quiet  if  you  will.  ❞

❝  you  think  you’re  gonna  miss  it ?  ❞

❝  miss  what-  your  talking ?  ❞

❝  but  it  was  your  home …  ❞

❝  oh,  just  forget  it.  ❞

❝  have  you  lost  your  mind ?  ❞

❝  attraction ?  ridiculous.  ❞

❝  oh,  sorry  i  thought  you  were  someone  el-  oh,  it’s  you.  ❞

❝  i  think  you  broke  my  nose !  ❞

❝  here  goes  nothin’.  ❞

❝  uh,  wow.  take  it  easy  there.  ❞

❝  oh,  no.  not  me.  ❞

❝  you  don’t  know  it’s  a  lie.  what  if  it’s  true ?  ❞

❝  there’s  nothing  left  for  you  back  there.  ❞

❝  i  feel  a  little  foolish.  ❞

❝  you’re  a  dream  come  true.  ❞

❝  here …  i  bought  you  this.  ❞

❝  i’m  not  very  good  at  it.  ❞

❝  i  mean  it  was  nice  on  the  hanger,  but  it  looks  even  better  on  you.  ❞

❝  i-i’m  just  trying  to  give  you  a,  uh -  ❞

❝  compliment ?  ❞

❝  how  will  we  get  through  this ?  ❞

❝  i’m  feeling  a  little …  dizzy.  ❞

❝  kind  of  light-headed ?  ❞

❝  maybe  we  should  stop.  ❞

❝  you’re  doing  fine.  ❞

❝  just  riddled  with  envy.  ❞

❝  pleasant  dreams  to  you.  ❞

❝  wake  up !  ❞

❝  it  was  a  nightmare.  it’s  all  right,  you’re  safe  now.  ❞

❝  we  won’t  be  fooled  next  time.  ❞

❝  no  more  pretend.  ❞

❝  princesses  don’t  marry  kitchen  boys.  ❞

❝  we’re  going  to  go  through  with  this  as  if  nothing  has  changed.  ❞

❝  you’ve  got  to  tell  her.  ❞

❝  tell  me  what ?  ❞

❝  h- …  how  beautiful  you  look.  ❞

❝  everything’s  gonna  be  fine.  ❞

❝  look,  we’ve  been  through  a  lot  together.  ❞

❝  i  want  to  wish  you  good  luck,  i  guess.  ❞

❝  you  used  me ?  ❞

❝  it  may  have  started  out  that  way,  but  everything’s  different  now.  ❞

❝  from  the  very  beginning,  you  lied !  ❞

❝  you  just  leave  me  alone !  ❞

❝  please,  you  have  to  know  the  truth !  ❞

❝  you’ll  stop  at  nothing,  will  you ?  ❞

❝  i’m  probably  about  as  stubborn  as  you  are.  ❞

❝  i  don’t  want  to  trick  you.  ❞

❝  why  the  change  of  mind ?  ❞

❝  it  was  more  a  change  of  heart.  ❞

❝  you’re  making  a  mistake.  ❞

❝  i  can’t  stay.  ❞

❝  you’ll  always  have  me,  but  is  it  enough ?  ❞

❝  i’m  not  afraid  of  you.  ❞

❝  they’re  waiting  for  you.  ❞

❝  wish  me  luck.  ❞

❝  it’s  the  perfect  ending.  ❞

DAENERYS TARGARYEN APPRECIATION MONTH 2022 || Day 2 - Underrated relationships and dynamics: Daenerys Targaryen & Daario Naharis  — Book scenes that show Daario genuinely caring about Dany:

He gives Dany flowers:

Oh, and flowers for my hair. When first they met, the captain brought her flowers every day, all the way from Yunkai to Meereen. (ADWD, Daenerys IV)

He tries to prevent Dany from seeing the crucified children:

He tried to spare me the sight of the dead children too. He should not have done that, but he meant it kindly. (ASOS, Daenerys V)

He remains faithful to Dany (even at a point when betraying her and joining Yunkai - which is what Brown Ben and the Second Sons chose to do - would have been advantageous to him and the Stormcrows):

“I thought you would be the one to betray me. Once for blood and once for gold and once for love, the warlocks said. I thought … I never thought Brown Ben. Even my dragons seemed to trust him.” She clutched her captain by the shoulders. “Promise me that you will never turn against me. I could not bear that. Promise me.”

“Never, my love.” (ADWD, Daenerys VI)

He asks Dany to marry him:

“I do not want this night to end. […] This night and the next, and we must end this.”

“Marry me, and we can have all the nights forever.” (ADWD, Daenerys VII)

He advises Dany to hold court and to remember her people (and displays an unexpected level of selflessness):

“Will you hold court today?”

“No. On the morrow I will be a woman wed, and Hizdahr will be king. Let him hold court. These are his people.”

“Some are his, some are yours. The ones you freed.”

“Are you chiding me?”

“The ones you call your children. They want their mother.”

“You are. You are chiding me.”

“Only a little, bright heart. […] You should hold court.” (ADWD, Daenerys VII)

He feels jealous of Dany’s suitors and visibly resents the fact that he’s too lowborn to marry her (so much so that he turns Dany down for sex):

“I am your queen, and I command you to fuck me.”

She had meant it playfully, but Daario’s eyes hardened at her words. “Fucking queens is king’s work. Your noble Hizdahr can attend to that, once you’re wed. And if he proves to be too highborn for such sweaty work, he has servants who will be pleased to do that for him as well. Or perhaps you can call the Dornish boy into your bed, and his pretty friend as well, why not?” (ADWD, Daenerys VII)

He leaves his blades with Dany as a token of his love for her:

She wondered if her captain’s blades still hung upon the wall beside her bed, waiting for Daario to return and claim them. “I will leave my girls with you,” he had said. “Keep them safe for me, beloved.” (ADWD, Daenerys X)
