[002] I had visions, I was in them, I was looking into the MIRROR

What the fuck just happened. Somebody tell me that kind of shit's normal around here, because if it's not I'm gonna have to ask what the hell kind of protocol you have for a crash in fucking SPACE.

[ooc: Richie is unaffected. Mirror!Richie is a bundle of insecurities and repentant puppy!eyes and anal-retentively clutched self-control - he's convinced if he tries this whole behaving and being Good thing hard enough for long enough his brother will come get him - sooo consequently it will quickly become fairly obvious to anyone who's spent any amount of time with him thus far in the Mirror!Verse that yeeeeah he's SUDDENLY GOTTEN "BETTER". Or at least gotten a hell of a lot closer to it. *gasp*]

Trust me, dear Richard, I do not waste my breath and I mean what I say. Were I not already engaged, I would even considering showing you just how serious I can be. But, alas, Viserys is already on a rampage since Snape and Molly attacked him. We wouldn't want his wroth extended in your direction, now would we?

[Blink. Blink. Mirror!Claire, you're using words that are beyond his education. He's already having trouble actually paying attention to the words as it is, why must you go confusing him with ones that are out of use?]

...His what? I'm not all that worried about a guy whose name sounds like something you buy in a tube.

[She had never heard her finacé referred as such and it was cause for laughter. She politely covered her mouth.] A tube. [Sigh to regain composure.]

And his wroth. Anger, wrath, rage. He attacked me yesterday, you know. Would have bludgeoned me to death were I not able to withstand such things. So if he is suddenly brave enough to take up arms against me, I would take care. He's crazed now.

[He took a cautious step closer, head tilted in curiosity, expression one of puzzlement. ...Over multiple things, since he wasn't previously aware of her ability, but one thing at a time. He watched her carefully, intently, as if she were the ONLY person in the entire world.]

Why're you still with him, then? If he did that?

[...And now we enter predator mode. Oh dear. It's never a good sign when he starts acting like a Normal, Concerned Citizen.]

[Family. Duty. Honor. Those were Tully words, and yet two of them applied to the situation the two Targaryens found themselves in.]

Because I have to. All Targaryens are wed to one another, have been for years. It's my duty. And I think he is finally starting to progress. He was such a sniveling little whelp before, but now, I reckon he may be ready to lead in the future. Which is why I'm here in the first place. To ensure he comes to be stronger for the good of the family.

[Never mind that only yesterday she learned she was, as Viserys put it, a 'brooding mare', making her that more desperate to ascend with what little grace she now had. ]

All...whats?

[Confusion and puzzlement]

Targaryens. It's the name of our House, our...surname, as you call it. As yours is Gecko.

So...you're fucking your brother. Cousin. Or something. And he tried to kill you yesterday.

[Just so he has this all right.]

Aye, more or less. Not that I was any more composed.

...Oh, of course not.

[Like he knows the situation. He's mostly just smiling and nodding at this point, and probably zoning out as far as attention to words goes if only because it's getting surreal and it's more interesting to look.]

[Claire offered a grin.]

Well, I promised my Inmate a CES visit. I shall see you later, Richard.
