[Perhaps Koby had expected this, perhaps not. But now he's in it and there's no turning back -- thanks to the vast amount of books on the subject he's consumed, he knows exactly what that flag means.]

I see. Okay. Well.

So, in this world, there's quite a bit of talk about identities and preferences and proclivities, especially those of a romantic or sexual nature. Certain preferences have historically been frowned upon, so there's a level of
Pride, I suppose, in naming your identity openly, to the point where there are flags associated with various identities.

That one specifically is meant to indicate a woman who exclusively prefers the romantic and sexual company of other women.

So in other worlds there are those who have their preferences out in the open. Instead of family sigils they wield preference sigils?

I cannot claim to understand it, but I shall take your word for it.

[beneficiary]

( Wait a minute -)

Why does this library think I'm a woman?

[kobes]

Something like that. There are all sorts of flags -- sigil, I suppose. I read a book, there was a whole page.

No, I think it's referring to whoever that symbol actually belongs to. Is it Rhaenyra?

[beneficiary]

Sounds complicated and a matter for other people.

I see, so a trick from the library then. The dragon is red, so it is that of Rhaenyra. Had it been gold it would have been mine.

[kobes]

[Well, it's not outright hatred or spite, Koby can work with that.]

It's the same symbol? The Targaryen sigil, I suppose. That seems
Confusing.
Why is yours gold? Aren't you the Greens and the Blacks?

But yes, it's implying that Rhaenyra prefers the company of other women.

[beneficiary]

Yes we are the Greens and Blacks, in a manner of speaking.

Our banner is a golden dragon on a green background. Those of Rhaenyra have a red dragon on a black background.

My dragon, Sunfyre, is gold.

And if that is the case then I am certain her husband ought to know.

[kobes]

Ah, I see. You have a dragon too, then. From what I've learned, being without them is difficult.
I'm sorry.

It's possible. I try not to get too close to him, personally.

[beneficiary]

I do miss them, I was riding Sunfyre into battle when I arrived here. I do know, however, that Sunfyre is wise enough to find his way home without me.

And why is that?

[kobes]

That's good, then. I suppose. It'd be a little crowded here with multiple dragons, though I don't think that's stopped Aemond from wanting that.

I've made my loyalty to Alicent clear. I don't imagine he'd take kindly to that.

[beneficiary]

Only because Vhagar is so big.

Then be sure to keep yourself armed at all times. Daemon will, and has, stooped so low.
