Moonspear Always With The Stars

She is grieving, Drogon tells himself. He tells himself it like a mantra, biting on his tongue to keep himself from snapping at her as she throws a tantrum like a small child. Telling her that Galaxy is gone and never coming back no matter how big of a childish fit she throws sounds cruel, even in Drogon's head. He’s reminded instantly of Vela, and is trying to retain as much sympathy to her situation as he can as he discreetly rolls his eyes. Was she another one like Vela who thought just because she opened her mouth and demanded that the universe should just stop and give her what she wants? He moves away from her then and back down the small incline to stand in the ground so he is peering back up at her. “The world rarely gives us what we want. I learned that a long time ago. It’s not fair, but life is never fair. In spite of it’s injustices you gotta keep your chin up and keep soldiering on.” He has no patience for demanding princesses and done, surprisingly, fairly well with Vela but he was quickly finding that his tolerance for ‘give it to me, I want it’ was running dangerously thin and low. It must be nice to believe that if you demand loud enough you’ll get what you want — but that’s not the kind of life Drogon has lived. He’s had to fight for everything and cannot sympathize. He thinks of his nightingale mother and how crying out for her and yelling at the world to bring her back to him ( when they were only separated by distance and not the veil between life and death ) hadn’t worked. She was still gone from him but that does not mean she has left him. That took Drogon a long time to figure out — but he sees her in his reflection, he hears her in the Tundrian when he speaks it. She is not truly gone from him because she has left pieces of herself with him.

“Galaxy is only gone in corporeal world, but she’s still here. She’s in the stars, she’s in your love of the stars. She’s still with you. You just gotta find her.” And that’s the best advice that Drogon has for her, lingering but not feeling very inclined to remain if she’s going to continue demanding impossible things of the universe like he imagines Vela would. Vela is enough of a spoiled princess for Drogon and he’s not feel very welcoming to a second spoiled princess ( especially one that is older and should know better, he believes ).
