i mean ive been busy

( not entirely the truth but — )

like i said its complicated hes sort of my boyfriends grandfather ok but i actually have no idea if hes the same version of the guy ive heard about? and i would really rather avoid that conversation entirely especially considering tommy isnt here

You worry he might fight you for defiling his grandson. Sensible to worry, then.

[ see, he's supportive. somewhat? ]

If you keep your peace then you will never know, but if you do speak it, you may be changing matters for the worst. What a conundrum you've made for yourself.

Will you speak to him regardless? On my account?

im not oh my god no one is being defiled aemond please never say that to me again anyway its not a fight im worried about its more that i might have to explain the entire existence of a grandson he may not even know he has and yes also the fact that sometimes i sleep with said grandson but thats besides the point is there a reason you cant talk to him yourself?

( he has not been keeping up with the real dragonwives of saltburnt, okay. but he's pretty sure the targaryens are probably beefing with half the manor at this point. )

[ not quite half the manor, but— ]

He is at odds with a close friend.

[ he's not explaining himself any further because that will needs explaining that it's his boyfriend that has beef with erik. especially not after the very painful friendship breakup between his mother and tim (the other boyfriend). ]

Is not a defilement? Mm, I don't actually care too deeply about the details. I think you should tell him regardless.

I need rings made. I'm like to ask you to ask him.

dude gay sex is not a defilement i know youre from like a million years ago but im begging you to get with the times and stop saying shit like that i'll tell him if you unpack all that internalized homophobia

( he's just taking a wild guess here, he doesn't actually know anything about aemond's love life or sexual preferences. but given the nature of this conversation and certain context clues ... )

wait rings like wedding rings??? are you getting married??

[ he's having second thoughts about the merit of this endeavour now. married. who would he even marry here? he has a betrothal waiting for him back home??? ]

Signet rings for my family. As for marriage, 'tis my cousin and nephew who are getting married, not I.

I have the metals and the stones for it. It is the crafting that I am particular about, and Erik Lehnsherr seems himself a particular man. He has offered, but I cannot yet pay the price he asks.

You will ask in my stead, but not name me.

[ the audacity of this guy, damn. ]

so hold on you want me to ask a guy ive never spoken to to make a bunch of rings for your family because why exactly? im not really in the market for fine jewelry i mean you do realize its gonna be obvious who im asking for even if i dont name you right whats the price hes asking anyway

Is it not the season of giving? This Christmastime?

There are seven of us here who are dragons. Eight, counting my mother; nine, if you account our liege house under Sansa Stark. Tell him you mean to do my brother Aegon a favour. It will not be a lie, as you will be. My brother is king, and he needs accoutrements as suited his station. He should have his ring.

You are mistaken about me, as well. I call it defilement because the act of it is. Woman or man, the act remains the same, would you not say?

[ he will not say what price erik demands of him. not because he's embarrassed, but because he already has it prepared, but would rather not pay it just yet. ]

i cant believe youre pulling the christmas card on me

( sighs!!!! luckily for aemond, wally's a huge sucker for the season of giving, so he relents immediately. )

i'll ask but dont shoot the messenger if erik tells me to fuck off do you really think all sex is defiling? its literally the most natural act in existence

If it works, then why shouldn't I?

[ always make use of what tools are available, and so on.
#shameless ]

If he tells you no, then nothing of import was lost from you, wouldn't you say?

Sex is for bringing forth a new life. It is the province of husband and wife, the marriage bed they must share. Sex for the pleasure of it serves only — it is a sin.

[ these are as much his words as they are his mother's, he realises now. ]

( the longest sigh ever. he heard the same shit growing up, but he's had time to unlearn most of his dad's more bible belt-leaning views. )

yeah gonna have to agree to disagree with you man but have fun with all that sin

( he's really not equipped to have a philosophical-religious-moral discussion about this right now. but several minutes later — )

erik said he'd do it btw all he asked was i get charles xavier a gift which is no biggie for me so youre welcome

[ the same price as erik had demanded, only more specific. ]

Saxons, Vikings, and Celts, and The Seven Daughters of Eve, both by the author Bryan Sykes. There were copies of them in the library; if you can find others, he's like to be interested in them.

Why do you desire his grandson?

gift giving is my specialty dont worry he said to drop all the stuff off outside his room so i guess write down your specifications and i'll make a speedy delivery?

( he almost considers not answering that question, but eventually — )

tommy is like me a speedster, superhuman fast he gets me in a way a lot of other ppl dont sometimes the world feels like its passing by in slow motion but when im with him its like spending an eternity in a blink we're always on the same wavelength not to mention hes hot and funny and very good with his hands

( by which he means they run a handyman business together but he's just gonna leave that double entendre there anyway. )
