Daenerys Targaryen || ASOIAF (A Game of Thrones)

[bloodofdragon]

Today was to be her first day at the school. The flight had been exhausting and she'd taken it all alone. Luckily she didn't have to take the trip to the school alone. She was greeted at the airport by one of the school's staff. The taxi ride had been relatively quiet, the staff member told her what she needed to know about the school and that was about it.

She was shown her room and told a tour could be given after she had rested. But Dany was too nervous and excited to rest so the moment she got the chance she slipped from her room and began to explore.

It didn't take her long to get lost. Before long she found herself in the greenhouse. At least the school had something of comfort. She smiled as she settled on a bench near a large rose bush. She smoothed her skirt and glanced around at all the plants.

A deep breath helped her calm her nerves. "Maybe this place will not be so bad," she said softly as she pulled her long silvery-blonde hair over her right shoulder and began to braid it.

Perhaps Daenerys felt it when she first entered the greenhouse. Or perhaps after a few minutes looking around, it happened. But eventually it would happen - the smell would get to her.

But it is not the general smell of many assortment of flowers in the greenhouse. It is the overpowering smell of just one. A sweet, fruity scent, which seems to emanate from one of the corners. And in that corner was a young woman, one who looks like she could be around Daenerys' age. And yet also, she could be older.

She was concentrating.

Kakyuu could find nothing like home here. So she intended to make - what else? - a tea olive plant. The plant which shared her scent, and so many other things. A plant that she grew on her own body like hair. Even as she tried to call forth the seed she placed on the floor to life, small osmanthus blossoms were gently tumbling from within her hair, her sleeves, and her dress.

By the time Dany had completed her braid the scent had become almost overwhelming. With a quick flick of her wrist she sent the braid over her shoulder and rose from the bench.

It took her a while to track down the source, weaving this way and that through the greenhouse. What she found was certainly a surprise to her. Hands folded in front of herself she stopped and tilted her head as she watched Kakyuu.

"That is quite amazing."

[osmanthian]

At the words, Kakyuu looked up, then turned to face the person who spoke to her. Her grip on the English language and its vocabulary was...spotty at best. But she smiled, nevertheless, even though she did not fully understand what was being said to her and knelt her head down.

"Io̧kwe."

[bloodofdragon]

Light purple eyes blinked at Kakyuu in response when she spoke. Dany was familiar with many languages, well, they Romance languages anyway. She gave an apologetic smile and a slight shake of her head.

"I am sorry, I do not understand."

[osmanthian]

Oh, She knew those words. No one ever understood her when she spoke her native language. So she would have to rely on her English. All she had to remember was to say her name, right? She didn't have to follow it with the requisite greeting of "fuck you" unless they were shouting or talking in a room with many people in it.

"I am Kakyuu."

And this, she bowed again.

[bloodofdragon]

Oh! She does speak English at the least. Dany smiles and can't help but give a polite little bow in return. Somehow it only seemed right.

"I am Daenerys Targaryen, but you may call me Dany. It is easier to say."

[osmanthian]

"Io̧kwe, Daenerys Targaryen." Kakyuu smiled. "I...I am plessed to meet you."
