When it happens for the first time, the only thing Alicent thinks is we should have used a donor. 

Aemond, her son, watches her with Rhaenyra’s careful blue eyes, his hair Rhaenyra’s specific shade of blonde - almost white, practically white. In the dim light of their basement, he almost looks like a ghost. In front of him is a bloodied corpse of a squirrel and a scalpel. Alicent wonders, briefly, just how exactly he got his hands on one. 

“Don’t worry, mother,” Aemond says, quiet and cool and collected. His voice is Rhaenyra’s, too; but the glint in his eyes is not. 

That’s all her.

“Don’t worry,” he repeats. “It’s roadkill. I am above killing my cadavers myself.”

For now, Alicent thinks.

The first time it happens, all she can think is it’s my fault.

But it’s also not the first time at all, is it?
