Summary
After overhearing two separate, though equally important conversations in the godswood, Aemond experiences a series of life-shattering epiphanies:
1. All signs point to the gods blessing him and Lucerys with matching souls, a phenomenon that occurs sometimes in dragons and *obviously* means they should be married to each other
2. The surest way to guarantee that his younger nephew reaches this conclusion quickly is by (figuratively) pulling Luke's pigtails, which he has on good authority is a common, well-known way for boys to nonverbally convey their romantic interest
Unfortunately, every single one of Aemond's carefully calculated plans goes horribly wrong. So, when Lucerys slashes his eye out, thus reciprocating the 'pigtail pulling' in a permanent way by marking Aemond as his own, the showdown in the Hall of Nine concludes with drastically different results.
////////////////
“Do not mourn me, Mother. It was a fair exchange. I may have lost an eye, but I gained a dragon." Aemond's remaining eye locks on hers. "And a betrothed.”
