i believe he is among the newcomers. he is tall, and broad, and has a sharp line to his jaw. aemond.

he calls me dragontongue, and would see my drawings and art.

[preborns]

Oh! I have met him. He's a charming draconian fellow, isn't he?

And he has lovely manners and has been sweet to you. Two more points in his favor, truly. I believe for him, deeds would be easier -- perhaps offer to draw him? Since he has an interest in such things.

It seems you don't strictly need to earn it -- you have shades of it already. But perhaps tell him so.

[rakta]
