no. i don't think there's an expectation, and if anyone says anything, you can start practicing what i told you. tell them to fuck off. there's a library if you like to read. a pool. a couple of bars. some gyms. a theater, which might be new to you. movies might be new to you. they're like plays but different. there's apparently a zoo, but i haven't been able to find it.
[ he's going to have to sit in the library for a full week and not come out until he has had an in-depth knowledge of what the fuck goes on in this place. too many words without context. he loathes it. ]
Just like that. Tell people to fuck off.
[ that said; ]
I've been to the library. Strangely cramped, despite the vastness of the selection. And the gyms — they are the training rooms, yes?
yeah. no duel required. sometimes it's actually more hurtful not to give someone your time than it is to beat the shit out of them.
yeah, they're like training rooms. lots of shirtlessness going on in there.
a movie is a story that's played on a screen. it's you know what, why don't we just go see one together? it's not really something you can explain. i think you'd like it. i don't know anyone who doesn't like the movies. there's all different kinds, too. funny ones, scary ones, romantic ones. ones where stuff blows up for two hours. they're all pretty good.
[ stories — like the songs? he would like to experience new things, he's always had an interest in learning beyond what the tutors can give him, but he's not had the opportunities to truly try.
maybe he has the time here. it would certainly keep him from plotting against rhaenyra, and that's what his mother wants him to try. isn't it? ]
Are there any stories about dragons?
[ loathe as he is to play to type, he misses vhagar so fiercely. he wants his dragon, the comfort of her presence in his mind. ]

cw: mentions of SA, sexual coercion of a minor 😭
My brother took me to one when I was three and ten. I don't see the appeal of it if it's just fucking people for the release.
What else is there? Is there an expectation that I should go?
cw: assault
