Summary
This is the various conlang dialogue I translated for HBO's House of the Dragon. The main language featured in the show is High Valyrian. The High Valyrian language is technically an a posteriori artlang based on words and ideas that come from George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series, but the language is probably better understood as a priori with some input from a second author.

Summary
“Did Viserys ever tell you that her first word was—”
“Uncle, yes. He was very unhappy about that, I can assure you.”
“He still is, he was complaining about it when Aegon learned how to talk.”
“Ridiculous. Everything he’s had, and it’s never been enough for him.”
“Sometimes I think he’d be happiest if he could have both of you in your own separate boxes. And he’d keep you in different rooms, and he’d never take you out at the same time.”
“And what about your box?”
“I would never be important enough for a box of my own. If he could control both of you, exactly as he liked, he wouldn’t even know that I existed. I’m nothing, in the end. Or I am a box that children can come out of, and that’s all. That’s all I’ve ever been to anyone, my whole life.”
“I’m sure Rhaenyra wouldn’t agree with that.”
Alicent rolls her eyes. “Rhaenyra hates me.”

Summary
Alicent waited as long as she possibly could. After spending what felt like hours pacing up and down the length of the rooms her uncle had set aside for her, resisting the temptation to tear her cuticles to shreds, she wrote to Daemon and then resumed her frantic pacing as soon as she was sure the raven was on its way, until by way of reply she heard the strange clicking sound that meant Caraxes was flying overhead, a sound that terrified her as a child almost as much as it delighted Rhaenyra but tonight made her feel at ease in a way that she hasn’t in days.
She wrote to Daemon because she knew he would understand. She knew that even if he was annoyed, he would come right away, without asking, and, unlike Rhaenyra, would not require an explanation for behavior that Alicent cannot describe to any other person without sounding utterly and completely deranged.

Summary
Later, after it was all over, Rhaenyra found that she remembered very little about the day of her mother’s funeral. She couldn’t recall conversations, the names and faces of the strangers and near-strangers who came to pay their respects, or even what she had done or where she had gone once the pyre stopped burning. When she tried to close her eyes and conjure up the last moment she ever saw her mother, all that came to her were other images, other feelings: the way the cold wind whipped her tear-streaked face; the distance her father placed between himself and everyone around him; Daemon’s low voice in her ear; and, most vividly of all, the weight of Otto Hightower’s hand on her shoulder, grasping her quickly but firmly as he walked past her and back toward his children.
It was strange. He had never touched her before. He had never paid any real attention to her at all. She had seen his probing gaze directed at her father, at her uncle, at Alicent, but never at her. And yet that day he chose to acknowledge her, and she was so grateful to be acknowledged at all that she never thought to ask him why.

One can choose to serve. One can put one’s power into service. You can make a choice made for you before you even knew it was being made. But that’s not what they’re after here. They seek to map out its shadow path, for they live in the blare of constant high noon that picks it out stark and solid as velvet.

Summary
“I’m your father now. And forever. You want daddy’s permission?” He’s already granted it, but then again not really—he could not grant it if it was from the delusion it wasn’t his to grant. “Or do you want me to be the jealous lover?”
He puts his hand on her throat, over his necklace. He can do either, but when she gives the minutest shake of her head and glances at him under her lashes with the shyness of an unsure child rather than the enticement of a coquette he lets out a relieved breath.
She bites her lip and drifts toward the bed, sitting on the edge. “No one should touch me between my legs, but—but you. Why?”

“Do you know what I am, Jace?”
Jace, he says, the same as Mother and Father and Grandfather call him.
“A knight,” he answers.
“Aye, a knight. And I’m sworn to protect your mother.” He slips a massive boot beside Jace’s own foot, worn leather so out of place next to his slick new ones, another nameday gift from grandfather. “Which means I’m sworn to protect you as well. If you tell me to keep it secret, I will.”

Summary
If the Hand’s daughter was raised as close as a sister to a Targaryen, her body would be transformed to be…like a Targaryen’s. But surely when that transformation arrived at adolescence, his chaste and lovely girl would be altered into a form only more perfect for a Targaryen queen. Into what the ideal Targaryen sister-wife must be.

“At night [his uncle] would smuggle him from his rooms dressed as a courtesan and take him secretly to brothels on the Street of Silk, where the prince could observe men and women in the act of love and learn more of these “womanly arts” from the harlots of King’s Landing.”

Bookmarker's Notes
As always the care you have taken with the characterization, and the depth of your world building really shows, and I love it. Especially the insight into old Valyrian succession and culture that makes a lot of the Targaryen family dynamics make sense. Poor Rhaenar is burdened with immense bisexual yearning and innate gender-weirdness, and I love her for it.

Summary
“I know that,” she snaps. “I’m not some stupid little girl.”
“You’re a baby,” Daemon responds unthinkingly, his heart aching with how true it is. In his head it had been bewildered, aggrieved. She is a baby, a fucking baby. He can’t imagine having ever been this atrociously young. It emerges from his mouth differently: cooing, coaxing.
Rhaenyra blinks wet inky lashes at him, her bottom lip stuck out stubbornly, her chin wobbling. “I’m not,” she says in a whisper.
There you go, he thinks. A bit closer now.
“You are. My baby niece.”
