The warrior queen does not chastise her, something that Lyris appreciates. She has acknowledged her faults, and knows where she needs to improve. Lagertha does not need to drive it home, and she knows it.
But, the queen does have some news that both surprises and intrigues her. They do have the damn stallion’s daughter? Lyris’ eyes widen, and her ears flick forward. She’s not surprised to hear that he’s abusive, but she is surprised that Lagertha would risk angering the Chamber. Though really, when she thinks about it, she shouldn’t be that shocked. A sister had made a request, likely from the heart, and Lagertha certainly supports her sisters with everything she has. Not to mention the girl is a nobody. She’s not a princess, just the daughter of a random dickbag Chamber stallion. Definitely not worth the Chamber going to war over.
That said, she wouldn’t put it past the Chamber to hold a grudge.
Lagertha keeps speaking, and the information she relays keeps getting better and better. The Chamber attacked the Gates?! How interesting for them to make such a move. The Gates are notoriously weak of course and likely hadn’t put up much of a fight, but now the eyes of every kingdom will be on the Chamber. Had it simply been a show of strength? Or a sign of more things to come?
Lagertha’s question catches her off guard, and a little snort slips out. “You know me, I go with whatever suites me in the moment.” She knows her own temperament all too well. “But, as a Khaleesi … I’d say logic. Unless the matter is too important - there are some things that are worth sacrificing for.” She laughs. “Such helpful advice, I know.”
