"YOU MAY NOT BELIVE IT BUT I MISSED YOUR MORMONT Nobody glowers quite like you. Not even Grey Worm or Ser Hallyne" Tyrion Jokes as Ser Hallyne hits him with his sword hilt on the back of his head as he chuckles 

"This is the coin the slaver gave me when I suggested he free us and pay us. Remember?" Tyrion said as he pulled out a coin

"It was supposed to last us the rest of our lives."Tyrion smiles "Take it with you. You'll bring it back. Our queen needs you."

Jorah nods to Tyrion as Dany and Helaena approach the Duo  "We should be better at saying farewell by now." Dany says 

"Your Grace," Jorah says as Both Dany and Helaena pull him into a hug, Helana then pulls away and walks to where Ser Hallyne and Talia 

"I wish you good fortune Ser Hallyne" Helaena says as Talia smiles at the duo, Ser Hallyne smiles at the princess "I hope to return to you princess and my lady," He says to both of them as Helaena puts a hand on her stomach and stands up on the tipy toes and places a kiss on his cheek

 Jon, Ser Davos, and Gendy exit the cave and walk towards the boats with the last boxes of dragon glass in the boats 

The men all push off from the shore and enter the boat as they sail away, Talia puts a hand over Helaena's shoulder comforting her as she watchers her best friend leave as she rubs her stomach in comfort 

-

"Do you know what I like about you?" Dany began as they sat around the fireplace, Helaena sat across form Tyrion as she rubbed her stomach which was huge  "I honestly don't."

"You're not a hero,"  Dany said. "Oh. I've been heroic on occasion." Tyrion claims 

Dany walks over to the fire and sits in the chair opposite Tyrion next to helaena as she smiles at her  "I once charged through the mud gate of King's Landing."

"I don't want you to be a hero. Heroes do stupid things and they die. Drogo, Jorah, Daario, even this Jon Snow, they all try to outdo each other of who can do the stupidest, bravest thing." Dany claims

Helaena giggled "What so funny?" Dany asked her smiling sister 

"No, It's interesting these heroes you name. Drogo, Jorah, Dario, even this Jon Snow, they all fell in love with you."

"Jon Snow's not in love with me" Dany says Tyrion and Helaena looked at each other  " oh yes he stares at you longingly and is very obvious because he's hopeful for a successful military alliance" Tyrion backs her up 

"He's too little for me." Dany as Tyrion looks away " I didn't mean" Dany begins "As heroes go he is quite little." Tyrion told her as Helaena laughed

"I know you're brave. I wouldn't have chosen a coward as my Hand." Dany defends 

"So if all goes well, We'll finally get to meet your sister. From everything you've told me about her she'd rather murder me than speak with me." Dany says as she sits back down with her sister 

"Oh first she'd torture Your sister in front of you carve out her child in some horrible way, then she'd murder her then move on you and kill you," Tyrion says as Helaena holds onto her stomach as Tyrion smiles as if he didn't say the most gut-wrenching thing ever 

"Nobody trusts my sister less than I do, believe me. But if we go to the capital, we'll go with two armies, we'll go with Five dragons, and if anyone touches you or the princess, King's Landing burns down to the foundation stone."

"Helaena will not go," Dany says "What," She asks her sister "Your pregnant I forbad you from putting yourself forward in front of the lannisters," Dany said to her sister "I am going I have dragons and armies to protect us I fear no one but you," Helaena says 

"And right now she's thinking of how to set a trap," Helaena says changing the conversation 

"Of course she is. And she's wondering what trap you're laying for her." Tyrion says to them

"Are we? Laying any traps?" Dany asked "If we want to create a new and better world, I'm not sure deceit and mass murder is the best way to start."

"Which war was won without deceit and mass murder?" Helaena asked him" Yes, you'll need to be ruthless if you're going to win the throne. You need to inspire a degree of fear. But fear is all Cersei has. It's all my father had, and Joffrey. It makes their power brittle. Because everyone beneath them longs to see them dead."

"Aegon Targaryen got quite a long way on fear," Dany said 

"He did, but you want to break the wheel, Aegon built the wheel. If that's the kind of queen you want to be, how are you different from all the other tyrants that came before you?"

"if we want to be different, we can't just do things the way everyone else does. To make a better world, you have to make changes." Tyrion tells her

"So we walk into the lion's den?" Dany asked as she steps up 

"My brother promised me he'd keep a grip on the Lannister forces." Tyrion tells them "Forgive me, but I don't care about any Lannister promises. Except yours."

"And I promised him I'd keep you both from doing anything impulsive," Tyrion tells the dragon queen who stood at the table 

"Impulsive?" Dany asked him

"This will be a difficult negotiation. We're sitting down with people who want to see us all headless. My sister is likely to say something provocative. And you've both been known to lose your temper from time to time. As all our great leaders do."

 "When have I lost my temper?"

"Burning the Tarlys for instance." He tells her "that was not impulsive, that was necessary." Dany defends

"Perhaps." Tyrion says  "Perhaps?"

"Perhaps the father needed to die and not the son. All he was doing was defending his father. We had no time to discuss the possibilities before you ended their possibilities"

"You need to take your enemy's side if you're going to see things the way they do. And you need to see things the way they do if you're going to anticipate their actions, respond effectively and beat them" Tyrion said as he approached Dany

"Which I want you to do very much. Because I believe in you and the world you want to build. But the world you want to build doesn't get built all at once. Probably not in a single lifetime. How do we ensure your vision endures? After you break the wheel, Who will make sure the wheel stays broken"

"You want to know who sits on the Iron Throne after I'm dead, is that it?" Dany asked " You say you can't have children"

"Helaena is my heir her child will be after her" Dany tells him "Your Grace, I saw hundreds of arrows fly towards you and the princess when you fought on Blackwater Rush, and I saw hundreds of arrows miss. But any one of them could have found your heart and end all this, this a war."

"You been thinking about our deaths quite a bit? Is this one of the items you've discussed with your brother in King's Landing?" Dany asked, "I'm trying to serve you by planning for the long term." Tyrion defends 

"Perhaps if you'd planned for the short them, we wouldn't have lost Dorne and Highgarden, Helaena will succeed and her child after," Dany says as she exits motioning for her sister to follow
