[ Woman or man, Loki has always been supportive. That should frighten her, Dany knows. It frightens and enthralls her. ]
One such thing is a dragon.
[ She sounds certain of that. ]
I am not kind, though I am not without mercy. My heart has grown ungentle, though I have no wish to harm innocents. I seek peace so that my people might not suffer, but I would sooner flay my enemies than treat with them.
[ Dany cannot disentangle what she wants from what she must want, but she can at least tell Loki what she is. Each blunt admission feels like a lash of the tongue, brutal and cathartic. She could never have told Ser Barristan this, nor even Jorah, who had once called her sweet. ]
What I want ... I have tried to temper myself, but it is so hard. Once, I feared what that meant.
[ Now, she fears she is losing interest in fighting what she is. ]
