   Summary

   A boy gains a dragon and loses an eye.

   A girl loses her mother in Essos and then moves to Westeros where she loses her mother's dragon, (and also her uncle), but gains three stepbrothers and a stepmother in the span of a week.

   Aemond wants to feel sorry for himself, but Rhaena Targaryen has to be the most unlucky girl in the world, and he feels a little bad about his part in her misfortune. Just a little. Mutilation is not the best starting point for a friendship, or a marriage, or any kind of relationship, really, but Aemond is an expert at making do.

   ...
   ...

   Or, why no one in the entire Seven Kingdoms believes Aemond Targaryen when he says that Vhagar ate Luke by accident.
