You know what to do.

[forceshadowed]

And I care about you.
As well as the gaggle of girls that follow you around.

[ She means that both ways, that there are girls who want his attention, and that she cares very much what he thinks about them. ]

I am flattered, thank you, but I would never wish for anyone to start a war on my behalf. Most of all you. War is a dreadful thing and I would never be able to live with myself if you got hurt because of me.

Never, Aegon. It has never crossed my mind. Why would I even think it, when I have you?

[scaledwolf]

I still don’t understand the gaggle that follows me around.
You’re the only girl for me though..

[ He gets it for Ben, he’s a prince and clearly not taken. He even gets the small group of guys that hang around and try to impress Jane, because she’s a princess. But he’s just Aegon. ]

Thankfully you’re already by my side, so I don’t have to go to war for you. I’d do anything to keep you safe though, Jane.

Because there are still Princes in far off lands that might impress you?

[forceshadowed]

Because you're cute and you fight well?
I asked.

[ More of she eavesdropped, because, really, who would talk to her about having a crush on Aegon, when everyone and their dog knows she's the one who he's practically attached at the hip to? ]

As would I. Not that you can't protect yourself just fine.

Who cares about other Princes? They're not you.

[scaledwolf]

I fight well because Ben and I spar and practice. Which you know because you’re always there watching or learning too.

[ He’d roll his eyes at her for the comment about why the girls follow him around if he could. They exhaust him most days, happy to find a way to disappear with her either exploring a new area or going off on their boat to get away. ]

You’re pretty good at protecting yourself too.

You’re going to make me blush.

[forceshadowed]

I'm not as strong as either of you, though.

[ Which is why she's working on her warging, because it gives her an edge, at least. Not that many people know about her ability, although the Islanders are more predisposed to the idea of magic and the Force than their neighbors to the East. ]

I like it when you blush. Shall I compliment you some more?

[scaledwolf]

No but you're nimble and quicker than we are. Just need to use your strengths to your advantage.

[ He's fascinated by her warging, if only because he can't do it. There've been whispers that the Targaryens are touched by magic, why else would dragons bond with them, but it's nothing like hers. Especially since he doesn't have any dragons to bond with. ]

Only if those compliments come while we're sailing on our ship.

they totally need to find a dragon egg now, y/y?

[forceshadowed]

I know my strengths. My jokes are lethal. They can make people walk away from me very effectively.

Oh, it's our ship now?

YES! That would be amazing!

[scaledwolf]

I always thought your jokes were cute, and I love when you tell them.

Is it not supposed to be? We're always sailing together, I kind of thought of it as ours...

[forceshadowed]

Which is why I only care about you and not other Princes in other islands.

It's your ship. I'm just always along for the ride.
Will you really let me call it ours?

[scaledwolf]

You are an incredible person, I hope you know.

I have always thought of it as ours, not mine.
So yes, please call it ours.

[forceshadowed]

What do you hope to get out flattering me that you can't get by just asking?

[ Okay, she can't help teasing him. ]

Our ship, then.
When do you want to go?

[scaledwolf]

Just to make you smile. It puts more joy in the world.

[ Hey, she was complimenting him before. ]

Tomorrow morning?
Gives us enough time to stock up some food for our trip?

[forceshadowed]

Oh, stop it.

[ Now she's just embarrassed. But she likes it when it comes from him. ]

I'll make sure I won't be needed tomorrow so I can be all yours.

[scaledwolf]

I mean it, Jane.

[ He can’t help how he feels, and that he likes telling her what he thinks. ]

Sounds perfect. I don’t have anything on my plate tomorrow. I think mom was hanging out with your mom anyway.
We deserve a day together.

[forceshadowed]

How far out do you want to go this time?

[ Why, yes, naughty princess is naughty. They might not be able to return until after sundown if they go a little further than usual but it could be fun? ]

[scaledwolf]

As far as we can go without getting our ears numbed by a lecture for being gone?

[ He loves that naughty, wild side she has. And as far as they can go without getting in too much trouble means back at least in time to head to bed, so no one worries that they're both missing. Though once their mothers figure out they're both missing, there'll be less worry because the two are constantly disappearing together, getting into trouble but always coming back safely. ]

[forceshadowed]

Then we must leave before first light. And make sure Ben doesn't find out.

I wonder if the stories are true, that there are dragons on Dathomir?

[ Dathomir is far. They'll be pushing it, unless the winds favor them. ]

[scaledwolf]

I can have everything packed tonight. And we can head over and prep the ship after dinner before sunset?

That way we'll be ready to leave at first light?

[ There's a small smirk at her question because she knows that now that she's posed it, he'll want to find an answer to it. ]

I guess we'll have to find out tomorrow.

[forceshadowed]

Mmmm. Any request from the kitchens?

[ Hah. Of course she did that on purpose. Not because she wanted to call the shots on where they're going, but figured he'd want to check out the dragon rumors too. They've been at this for a while, trying to find him a dragon. ]

I guess we will.
