As you wish, ( she concedes, knowing he is a man grown and wishes to advocate for himself, but having spoken for him for so long, it will be a habit she needs to break.
Though he pretends not to notice the closeness of their legs, occasionally brushing and bumping into one another as their bodies shift about with the carriage, it is almost all Alicent can think about. She moves closer; whether it be on instinct or pure desire, she cannot say, but the feel of her thigh flush against his and their arms touching is enough to quell her yearning for him momentarily. )
Once you have your answer, we can meet with him. Though, if you'd prefer, you can meet privately. ( She's trying not to smother him, to give him some freedom where she can, or if she can't provide him with freedom, she can try giving him other things he desires. ) There will be a small council meeting on the morrow if you would like to attend and present yourself then.
( With their legs touching, her hand slowly inches onto his lap, the tips of her ring and middle finger cautiously running over the back of his hand. Testing the waters as she turns to look at him, wondering if he will accept her or turn her away. )
I can only imagine how dull the idea must be for you to spend a moon's journey stuck in the close confines of a carriage with your mother, especially when such a journey would take a few days at most on dragon.
