Better with a second than alone, then. You should have someone to fight with you.
[ aemond knows what it's like to be the only one truly fighting for something. fighting and alone, persisting on his own; it's a wretched feeling, it hardens the soul and the heart, and he thinks that perhaps if he had at least one person in his life who truly had his back he would not be so angry.
or maybe that's wishful thinking. vhagar is his only friend at home for a reason; he's too much anger in a body to be anything other than a sharp edge. touch him, and you'll bleed β that has always been how people see him, and aemond has worked hard to make it true.
after a few seconds' deliberation he moves to join pierce on the bed, lies back down next to him but with hands folded over his stomach. his one good eye is on pierce's right side this way, but aemond isn't looking at him yet. ]
