despite my criticism and the fact i hated that subplot ❤️ i love that hel reaches out to ali.cent while they're running. in line with what i said here about the coronation and how when faced with danger she reached for aem.ond, and later to cris.ton and how she feels safer with them (and obviously also ali.cent) and wants contact with the people she feels protected by despite how she sometimes reacts to touch

physical closeness (with people she trusts) is a source of comfort when she needs to feel safe, and will help her calm down. it's the opposite when she's irritable and she'll slap anyone's hand away, don't try to comfort her with touch then.

#* out of character: { dreamfyre stan }#hotd critical #but like c: why weren't the greens shouting for everyone to hear there's a blockade that's rhae.nyras fault #'they don't care for the smallfolk'#otto clearly knew it was important to win them over. ali.cent saw the value in it #where are the other means of getting food. no one mentioned roads being blocked #or any actual armies in the reach so far #anyway the book specifically mentioning ae.gon and ae.mond hadn't been loved by the people #but that hel.aena was and she's the one getting attacked on the street #'queen ali.cent beloved of the smallfolk'#'hel.aena had been loved'#and then we can have neither 🙏#I'll stop being bitter I promise #* character study: { innocence died screaming }#i was ranting more but that's enough 🙏 let's leave it at that #anyways I'd say ae.mond ali.cent and cri.ston are the 3 people she feels safest with and the ranking is in that precise order
