VISERYS (O.S.) Where’s my sweet sister?
VISERYS (20) steps into the room, a gaunt young man with nervous hands and a feverish look in his pale eyes. He holds a lilac gown in his hands.
VISERYS A gift from Illyrio. Touch it. Go on. Feel the fabric.
Dany lets the delicate silk run through her fingers. It is a gorgeous gown but the sight of it gives her no pleasure.
VISERYS Tonight you must look like a princess.
Daenerys hands the gown back to her brother.
DAENERYS He gives us so much... we’ve been his guests for a year and he’s never asked for anything. VISERYS Illyrio’s no fool. He knows I won’t forget my friends when I come into my throne.
He hangs the gown from a hook beside the door.
VISERYS I’ll send the slaves in to bathe you. Be sure you wash off that stable stink.
He studies her critically.
VISERYS You still slouch.
He pushes back her shoulders.
VISERYS Let them see you have a woman’s body now.
His fingers brush lightly over her breasts, judging their shape beneath the rough fabric of her tunic.
