   Summary

   At first, Rhaenyra is simply curious.

   Curiosity is something Rhaenyra can handle. It's not possible for her to simply shake off the feeling of the unknown. It comes to her as a second nature, she would argue. So she's not really surprised when it happens.

   ***

   Rhaenyra starts to feel different around her best friend of almost 15 years. Different in a way that is so familiar and yet something that she struggles to understand. Alicent, of course, notices this shift. And she's determined to use it to her advantage — she'll tease and she'll push until she gets what she wants.
