[energeia]

Alicent, I — I'm so sorry to contact you so suddenly.

There's something I must tell you.

[lambencies]

[ her stomach twists with worry. is it Aemond–? Aegon? ]

Robin, is there a name on you?

[energeia]

[ She'd been keeping herself together. Alicent was supposed to hear it from a calm, reasonable version of Robin, but when she asks her directly, it falls apart like all it took was the slightest gust of wind.

It's yours.

Please, don't take this as a warning — I just needed you to know the truth. [ She's seen what Aemond can do, and can only imagine how swiftly he'd do it if he thought Robin might harm his mother. She doesn't want anyone to come for her, in fact, not when she's kept the Flood a secret for so long. ] I was never going to do this, no matter whose name it was.

[lambencies]

[ what upsets her the most is feeling Robin's anguish so directly. she's never known her to be like this. ]

Robin. Of course not, I could not... [ she's genuinely stressed for her sake, but at the same time she can't help the paranoia creeping in. is this a plot to get to her sons? somehow?? ] Thank you for your honesty, I value it, truly.

[ she immediately knows she can't tell a word about this to Aemond. ]

[energeia]

[ An exhale. She is not relieved, but some of the weight has been lifted. ]

Thank you, Alicent. I don't expect your sons to understand, but — if there is anything I can do to prove that I mean no harm.

[ don'ttellthemthough ]

[lambencies]

Would you come and see me, Robin? I wish to speak with you in person. Not as a proof but because I miss your company.

[ and if they're seen together, Aemond will be less likely to suspect anything. ]

[energeia]

Of course, Alicent. It would be my pleasure. What shall I bring for you?
