Ser Criston: *mockingly* not very Strong of you, is it, Jacaerys?

Aegon: ...yes, Ser Cole. the boy half my age loses against me in a sparring match and his strength is the issue. come, Jace, you need to work on your footwork

---- Otto: you shouldn’t be lowering yourself to associating with their kind, Aegon.

Aegon: ...because it’s lowering myself to spend time with my nephews who are SECOND and THIRD IN LINE TO THE THRONE. yes. of course.

----

Aemond: such Strong boys-

Aegon: *sighing* I know you want more sparring partners, Aemond, but Jace and Luke are both younger than you. give them time, valonqar

----

Alicent: *beneath her breath* how can no one see that they’re bastards

Aegon: ...didn’t Ser Cole beat a man to death at my sister’s wedding to Ser Laenor?
