When: March/April catch-all.
Where: Wyver, Thesa Station, and others TBD.
Warning(s): Game of Thrones/Daenerys standard warnings, torture, self harm, etc.
Wyver
I. CHIMERAS
To get close to the dragons, Daenerys believes she must get close to the Beastmaster known as Thali. It would do her well to participate in this task for a multitude of reasons, the first of which includes keeping herself occupied. Her hair's braided back into one single plait, and whilst she's neither donning her Targaryen colors, nor wearing something entirely Dothraki, she is in leathers and pieces spun for practicality in the heat and humidity.
( a. ) Are you her partner in gathering the chimeras and feeding them? If so, have fun standing beside her as she stares at the creatures, frowning. "Which mouth do they feed themselves with? They're rather vicious looking."
( b. ) Or perhaps you're seated with her on one of the rocks near a spring. She's parchment with her, spattered in water and mud (is that blood?), with notes scrawled on the pages. Her legs are stretched out before her, hooked at the ankles, and she looks as if she is a queen in her element, not an onlooker studying a creature's behaviors. "It's a shame they've the head of a lion. That is a lion, isn't it?"
( c. ) Of course, living creatures--be it humans, dragons, or chimeras--can be spooked, and these are no different. One of the dragons in the nearby areas roars, and suddenly the chimera the two of you are guiding to a new location jerks. "Watch for its--mouths," she warns you, before ducking from the lashing snake tail. "Shh, friend, the dragons will not harm you."
II. FIELDS OF THE EXALTED (post-kidnapping)
She's reason enough to claim her spot in this place, having spied upon Thali during her work with the chimeras. After a few days of ignoring anyone and everyone, Daenerys is quick to reassert herself. It would do no good for a queen to show weakness. Likewise, she's determined to find a job to move out of her... less than acceptable living arrangements.
( a. ) If you're a friend visiting her, she may rope you into meeting a dragon--her dragon. For while Drogon is not free for her to ride as she'd prefer, he is still on the grounds, in the sanctuary. She can still interact with him. Which means you will, too!
( b. ) Work is good for the soul. When she was nothing more than a khaleesi, the khalasar kept her busy and exhausted. It might've been a simpler life, traveling with a nomadic tribe, but there were still things to appreciate. Do you help Dany gather meat for feeding younger dragons, lead in livestock for the adults, break up fights between dragons, tend to sick creatures, or training youngsters?
III. WILDCARD
HMU if you want some other interaction in Wyver prior to or post kidnapping!
Thesa Station
IV. STASIS
It's been some time since she's visited her people, and for that, there is a flare of guilt. Wearing her attire from home, she spends a vast majority of her time in the stasis room.
( a. ) She stands before ser Jorah's pod, staring up at him with a troubled expression. A palm rests against the glass of his pod, fingers gently smoothing the glass as if she would touch his face. It's intimate, but what of the stasis room is not? "I don't know what to do," you might overhear her telling her old bear. "I need you by my side. Please wake up."
( b. ) Missandei looks so peaceful, and that peace brings her peace. It's the first time she's smiled. "You'd have found them adorable. I know you've never seen a hatchling before."
( c. ) "You've left me with scars, brother," she murmurs to Viserys' slumbering face. No gold crown, not a crown for a king. No demonic teeth or flame-bright eyes. "But it was you who woke the dragon, this time."
V. MESS HALL
Wine and oranges--that's what Dany has as she sits in the mess hall. She's alone at her table, looking up, not at others. Up means she can gaze through the expansive glass lining the upper part of the room, and out into space itself. "Do you believe the stars are souls?" she'll ask someone, if they sit at her table.
VI. WILDCARD
Let's do it.

The one with all the spikes on his face?
[Not that Wyvern's dragons were without them but it's the first thing that sticks out in her mind. She reaches up for the little one on her shoulder, bending to settle him down on the ground gently.]
I've been working here for three months now. I'm Mai.
no subject
[ That wariness soon leaves her in favor of a fond little smile, clearly for her son. ]
I just recently woke. [ Which would explain for Drogon's appearance. ] I'm Daenerys.
Do you have dragons in your world?
no subject
At one time we did. They've been gone for a while now though. I honestly couldn't tell you what they were like beyond stories. ... Well, if they were much different from these guys anyhow.
no subject
[ She looks back over her shoulder at Drogon. ]
Beautiful is more like it, and far from worthless. He was far larger, though. I don't know what the Natha did to him.
[ Looking back to Mai now. ]
I've been told by another that dragons in her world were shapeshifters. I'd love to hear about yours.
no subject
I can't really tell you much. The last of the dragons were killed when I was still young. It was a tradition to hunt them as a sport.
[She doesn't seem particularly sad about that but she doesn't look happy either. The Fire Nation has done... or had, she supposes... a lot of things to it's people and the world itself.]
They say though that dragons were the original firebenders and that humans learned to bend from them.
no subject
[ Large enough to kill those who attacked, she hopes. What a terrible, disgusting thing--and yet she can imagine the lords of Westeros enjoying some sort of game like that. ]
Firebenders?
no subject
[There's a note of disgust there.]
Do you have anything like magic in your own world? I know some people are here do anyhow.
no subject
My son--he was much larger than he is in the stables here. They did something to him.
[ She doesn't miss that note of disgust, and her respect for the woman beside her creeps somewhat higher. ]
We do. Dragons were like magic, but there were witches and wizards as well. Ones who could spin illusions and trap you, others who used blood magic, and still others who could gaze into the flames and predict the future. Nothing as immediate compared to some skill sets from other worlds, though.
no subject
Firebenders aren't exactly magic but it seems to help people understand. Where I'm from, benders can control an element. Firebenders control fire, then there are earthbenders and waterbenders. There were airbenders at one time too but as far as I now, there's only one left now.
[She considers the dragon again, thinking over the change in size.]
I can't say how they shrank him down but maybe it was so he could be free of the stables? After all, they seem pretty tentative with how they handle the dragons around here.
no subject
[ What would it be like, to be so attune with an element? To control fire in addition to being resistant to it. She looks toward Drogon when Mai speaks, linking her fingers together in front of her. ]
Perhaps. The fact that they can revive the dead and alter the size and shape of living beings speaks to a surprising amount of power. Have you ever wondered what they really want with this world?
