heard the news that Luke has died 934 01:04:25,950 --> 01:04:27,200 on a mission that she sent him on, 935 01:04:27,201 --> 01:04:28,494 so there's guilt involved. 936 01:04:28,619 --> 01:04:31,706 And she's a mother who's lost a son 937 01:04:31,831 --> 01:04:32,623 and has to go through 938 01:04:32,624 --> 01:04:34,666 the sort of necessary grieving process 939 01:04:34,667 --> 01:04:36,501 that Daemon, her husband, 940 01:04:36,502 --> 01:04:38,963 can't really appreciate or understand. 941 01:04:39,213 --> 01:04:42,007 She goes and tries to make peace with Luke's demise, 942

maddest things about death 948 01:04:56,689 --> 01:04:58,191 is that it seems sort of impossible, 949 01:04:58,524 --> 01:05:01,818 especially because really the overriding feeling often is 950 01:05:01,819 --> 01:05:03,195 you just sit with the absence. 951 01:05:03,196 --> 01:05:06,074 And so, anything that has, like, a tangibility about it 952 01:05:06,199 --> 01:05:07,741 I think is vitally important. 953 01:05:07,742 --> 01:05:11,079 Her son's cloak, the wing of his dragon, 954 01:05:11,204 --> 01:05:12,704 I think it's devastating, 955 01:05:12,705 --> 01:05:17,085 but I think it galvanizes a vengeful feeling, 956 01:05:17,418 --> 01:05:20,213 one that maybe she hasn't paid so much mind to previously. 957 01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:23,091 (Syrax roars) 958 01:05:24,717 -->

Daemon believes that he's, of course, 972 01:05:59,627 --> 01:06:00,461 completely in the right 973 01:06:00,753 --> 01:06:02,922 and has the power to order Rhaenys around. 974 01:06:03,089 -->
