[Daenerys had her at 'drogon', if only because of the assumed mispronunciation! The rest of her titles revealed, Lessa sits up with actual, keen interest. The only other dragon-riding woman she's ever known has also been a bitter rival, and she proceeded a slothful, gluttonous Weyrwoman who'd nearly ruined Pern's chances before she'd died. It sucks, being the last of one's kind.]
Is that so? You're of the blood too, then.
[That phrase might mean nothing to others, Lessa realizes; she quirks a half a smile in apology and adds]
Where I come from, there are only a few who can claim as much: Lords and Ladies of each Hold, who can speak of a proud enough ancestry to earn such a title. Ruathans are known to have had the closest affinity with dragon-kind.
[Whether this is reaching out to nerd out share common interests with other familiar parties, or a comparing of wills, Lessa isn't going to specify. Can't it be both?]
Drogon, though... not Drogoth? Ramoth has not told me that there were other dragons here! Has she been keeping her mind closed for any reason?
