#oc; aleksander hightower

[darkestspring]

Had this little blurb marinating in my brain for awhile now: when Alicent spreads the rumor that all of Rhaenyra's sons aren't Laenor's but Harwin Strong's, tried to tell Viserys, but he willingly turns a blind eye to it

Well what IF? Alicent did the same to Maegaera's and Alexsander Hightower?Maegaera has given birth and yet the babe's little bits of hair looks a bit like Alexsander, Maegara's sworn shield. But Alicent decides to pull a Viserys and willingly turns a blind eye to it, focusing on Maegara and saying that the baby is just beautiful 🥰

And Rhaenyra is like "b*tch you had no problem bashing me and my sons but you draw the line at Maegara? 🤨"

And Alicent even whispers loud enough for Rhaenyra to hear to Alexsander: "Keep her happy, and congratulations 😇" knowing that Rhaenyra can't say squat and that she and Alexsander are basically rubbing it in the Heir's face that Maegaea is absolutely HAPPY with Alexsander

Hell, even Aegon and Aemond don't even talk about Maegara's children having hair close.to Alexsander, all of them brushing it off cuz I think in the books, Rhaenys had black hair and I think the Baratheon was the cousins to the Targaryen

alicent and aleksander are cousins so of course she brushes it off, the hypocrisy drives rhaenyra mad but she never says anything about the brown haired twins that maegara gives birth to despite not even being married. viserys, alicent, rhaenys, and even daemon all turn blind eyes to it even when the truth is glaringly obvious. maegara was born out of an egg, there's no possibility for the child to inherit brown hair from her directly but aleksander? yeah.

it doesn't help that aside from a few features and the eyes, the twins look exactly like aleksander.

alicent acts so proud of aleksander when she's introduced to the sleeping twins in maegara's arms. viserys turns a huge blind eye and regardless of who acts as maegara's guardian, they all act as happy grandparents.

maegara is often spotted taking strolls with the two babies in her arms, aleksander at her side like always, it's abundantly clear to everyone who the father is but they all turn a blind eye. aemond and aegon are even worse, those babies are maegara's children alone to them. father? what father? their irritation towards their mother's cousin only gets worse. if they didn's dislike him before, they definitely do now.

#maegara targaryen #oc; aleksander hightower #yes! their first children together is twins. congrats aleksander! #alicent is overjoyed on all ends while everyone else is just watching her in confusion #she threw a huge fit at rhaenyras brown haired boys but maegara has brown haired twins and shes practically throwing a feast #the hypocrisy is real folks

[darkestspring]

What would have happened if Maegara lost her eye and not Aemond?

oh daemon would have not let that shit go. if by some chance, maegara had intervened in order to protect aemond due to her not wanting him to be hurt and luke had injured her in the same manner as in canon, everyone would just be frozen in horror.

maegara, who has a reputation for being this sweet child who picks flowers and smiles like the sun, nicknamed the realm's sunshine, wails as she clutches at her injured eye, and everyone just scrambles to help.

daemon would just lose it. seeing his beloved child, his lovely daughter, the other half of his rotten heart having her eye stitched as she's being comforted by rhaenys would just gut him.

aleksander literally has to be restrained by every guard nearby because if you think this guy won't fight a child, you're wrong. he is feral and super overprotective, he will fight lucerys.

rhaenyra is horrified but still defends her son against aemond and accuses aemond of manipulating maegara to gain her support and use her as a shield to defend himself but maegara is too delirious from the blood loss to refute it unfortunately.

everyone is so utterly horrified and the arguement breaks out as she's delirious from both blood loss and the mediciation that the maesters gave to her.

aleksander and daemon would definitely hold a grudge for this entire situation, against both aemond and lucerys and by relation they'd hold grudges against rhaenyra AND alicent.

i don't think maegara would put a gem in her empty eye socket. but i do think she'd make her own eyepatch in the shape of a blooming rose which earns her the nickname 'blooming rose' in gossip circles.

i think that whole event would scar her pretty badly to the point that she'll be incredibly tense and uncomfortable around knives.

#shits definitely fucked and daemon + aleksander really do go 'i will condone child murder now.' #LIKE I SAID ITS FUCKED #oc; aleksander hightower #maegara targaryen #hotd oc

[darkestspring]

Because Otto is a scumbag and he's the worst father/uncle:

Otto, trying to manipulate Alexsander into being loyal to their house: But... it broke my heart when Alicent went to comfort the king after the Queen's death. When the King dies, Aegon will be King and Magaera would have to comfort him

Alexsander, who had personal thoughts of murdering the king who believed picked Alicent because she was young and fertile only to realize that Otto practically whored out his own daughter and he'll probably do the same to his granddaughter and saw how lonely Alicent was because she was young herself and Magaera is still young herself: ......What?

Otto, realizing he fucked up: Now, I know that sounds... concerning, but-

And Daemon just suckered punches Otto breaking his jaw cuz he was there listening in cuz he knew Alexsander would've done worse and thus Daemon gets ANOTHER banishment 🙄

And Maegaera's crying to Corlys about Dae.on being banished again but can she stay at Driftmark for a bit, maybe do some fishing... :(

otto better be very careful cause aleksander has no emotional ties to his family. he barely tolerates alicent, his own cousin. aleksander's loyalty is only to maegara. he doesn't care about anyone else. not daemon, not the others of valyrian descent. only maegara. he's her personal knight, her protector. if otto thinks for a second that aleksander didn't develop murderous tendencies from living with daemon and being trained by him then otto's dead wrong. aleksander has killed for maegara and he will kill again for her.

maegara is so upset at daemon's banishment, her own beloved father while she's made to stay in king's landing that she goes and sobs to her beloved grandpa corlys (cause remember maegara is born out of the egg of vhagar and caraxes, she forms attachments with daemon and laena as her parents) and corlys takes the opportunity to invite her and laena to live in driftmark for the time being.

aleksander, of course, also comes with, wherever maegara is, aleksander follows.

#oc; aleksander hightower #don't be fooled by his kind looks. man is unhinged. #he barely tolerates alicent and her children but he absolutely loathes his other family members

[darkestspring]

If Aleksander grew up with Maegara under the justification that they were close in age and that if he trained as a knight, he could be his guard. so wherever daemon and his little girl went, little aleksander also went saying that he had to take care of his princess.

ok, little drabble just for you.

was it a little harsh that prince daemon targaryen hated aleksander hightower, maybe a little but he was firm in his stance ever since the queen all but pushed him towards his precious baby, maegara.

"Al!" Daemon was weak in the knees at the sounds of his beloved daughter's happy shout but did his bitterness increase at the call that was not for him? yes.

"Al!" Maegara yelled, a sweet smile making its home on her face as she raced towards him, flowers crown in hand.

"Mae!" Aleksander was equally happy, rushing to put his sword away as he rushed forward, eager to attend to his princess.

Maegara smiled even wider as she placed the flower crown on his head. "I knew Al would look pretty."

"Never as pretty as you." He remarked under his breath, his heart beating faster and gods, daemon had never hated him more.

nothing had changed with the years, Aleksander Hightower climbed through the ranks, his skill matching Ser Criston Cole's. Good enough to be a knight for the king or queen but instead, he chose to become the personal knight of Princess Maegara Targaryen. Following wherever she and Prince Daemon went, never faltering once.

He never faltered from her side, always holding out his hand to her with a gentle look in his eyes.

She never saw how tender his hands would be as they traced upon her cheeks or how his heated gaze, longing and craving her affection, never once left her but daemon did.

Knight Aleksander Hightower would always choose Princess Maegara Targaryen among everyone else. No one could compare.

#oc x oc #maegara targaryen #oc; aleksander hightower

[darkestspring]

What would Alexsander and Maegara be known as throughout the histories when it passes down to Daenerys? What were their accomplishments during the Dance of the Dragons?

If it ain’t too much to spoil

Aleksander is known throughout history as the executioner. when i say that aleksander's loyalty resides only with maegara, it's not a lie.

aleksander wasn't abused by his hightower family but he was the middle child, the need to prove his worth by basicaslly selling himself was imposed on him heavily. what he wanted to do and what he liked didn't matter, all that mattered was to prove himself useful and worthy of the hightower name in the eyes of his father, uncle and other family members.

daemon was heavily against having him as his daughter's personal guard, dismissing him as nothing more than an eyesore. even rhaenyra disliked him, seeing him as a spy put there by otto. maegara was the first person to show him an ounce of kindness, so his devotion towards her is something that's basically unbreakable.

he followers her every command and order and even takes her suggestions to heart. he becomes increasingly more harsh as war breaks out between targaryens, everyone who aims for maegara's head, will end up dead by aleksander's hand.

aleksander and maegara live in peace for a few months before news of lucerys' death reaches them and maegara mourns terribly.

aleksander takes extreme offense to this, disliking the death of the boy and disliking the pain it put his princess is in and basically vows to bring her aemond's head.

which he kind of does. after the battle between aemond and daemon, he brings daemon's body to rhaenyra and aemond's head to maegara.

maegara and aleksander live in relative peace for a few years, maegara traumatized by being forced to watch sunfyre eat her stepmother's body, develops very frail health which she eventually passes from about five years after rhaenyra's death and aleksander basically dies from a broken heart.

their story is passed down as a bedtime story for other targaryens, about the pureblooded dragon princess and her loyal executioner. about a princess who kindness outweighed everything and a man who would have set the world on fire if there was the chance that the fire would have warmed her.

its one of the many stories that viserys iii tells to daenerys.

#they do have a baby though! but maegara put the baby in the care of one of her maids and then the maid just disappears into history #so no one knows what happened to the baby <3 #there's the lore though #maegara targaryen #oc; aleksander hightower

[darkestspring]

if lucerys were to take maegara's eye, daemon can't even consider jace an option for his daughter anymore. Wouldn't it be nice to see when Aleksander wants to protect Maegara now if he starts to approve of it despite being a hightower?

oh absolutely, the second lucerys takes maegara's eye (no matter how accidental it was) daemon's support of jace marrying his beloved daughter just dies.

it's weird for everyone watching for daemon, who once looked at aleksander in disdain, to be encouraging his behavior toward his beloved maegara.

daemon enables and encourages aleksander's already murderous tendencies towards those that even look at maegara in a way that is less than kind.

daemon had hated aleksander for being a hightower knight who in his eyes wished to taint his beloved daughter but now, daemon fully endorses it, the daemon who purposefully kept his daughter and her personal guard apart as much as possible turns into the daemon who has aleksander accompanying her as much as possible. when it becomes apparent that maegara and aleksander are being intimidate with each other, daemon turns a blind eye to it.

in that scenario, alicent and otto plus aleksander's father would be extremely pleased. they all wants maegara and aleksander to be married.

If I may share a but of knowledge from a game called Elden Ring, there was something in it that stuck out to me since playing the game and you find it out by NPC's and the lore of items you come across and collect. But basically how is goes is that an outer God wanted it's Age and Rule to continue, so it had these things called the Two-Fingers and what they do is that they pick those who were meant to take over as the Queen's successor

And they were called Empyreans, and they were basically born to be raised to God hood in order to keep their Age forever and eternal, and these Empyrean's are given something called "Shadows" which usually take the form of a lupine (wolf) creature as to not only watch over their Empyreans' but to also slay them if they seeked to be free of the Outer God's clutches

So I was thinking, since Maegara was born from Vhagar, one of the last living dragons from Valyria, it can be assumed that she is something close to a God, but she would be known as an Empyrean but for this case, I'd say she was dubbed as the new God of Valryia if the Targaryens were ever to hopefully return home one day. And who has she had as her shadow since as a child?

Alexsander Hightower. Her very shadow, incapable of treachery to his only princess and possibly future Queen. He ensures her safety and follows her everywhere and takes his duties seriously but he's also kind and caring to her as well and even loves her

aleksander has killed for maegara and will kill again with absolutely no remorse.

maegara isn't much different. being raised by both laena and daemon, she likes to be kind, being treated kindly and fawned over is better than being regarded with fear but maegara is still a dragon. sometimes, maegara watches people for a long time. she doesn't understand humans sometimes. how strange they are. oh but not aleksander, she takes all of aleksander's acts in stride. his possessiveness, seen as weird and dangerous by otto and alicent, were met with amusement by maegara.

#they are both unhinged but maegara hides it better. she lieks watching people from a distance #oc; aleksander hightower #maegara targaryen

[darkestspring]

this audio fit aleksander and maegara so much that my self indulgence just went wild, its maegara and aleksander's world, we're all just living in it.

"She's a princess, and you are her guard." Rhaenyra spoke up, her voice tainted with sympathy despite the fact that she knew she was doing this to give her son a chance with her beloved girl. "That's something no amount of effort is going to change."

"But I love her." Aleksander was relentless, he had grown up with Maegara and Prince Daemon, she was his from the moment she had smiled at him for the first time, no matter what anyone else thought.

"If you really love her, you'll let her go." Rhaenyra turned and walked away, her heart throbbing at the thought of the love she just robbed her precious girl of but her son deserved what he wanted.

'how about I just continue to do what ever the hell I want? Yeah, sounds good to me.' Aleksander nodded to himself as he turned the other way and walked to Maegara's chamber, where he was headed before he was stopped by Rhaenyra.

Technically, it's maegara he serves and not rhaenyra so if his beloved girl had a problem with it, he would then stop but until then, whoever even dared to pursue his love would end up with a sudden loss of life.

What if Viserys decides to give Maegara a companion or protector when she is little? he says something like "aemond could be, they are a similar age and you can teach him to use the sword to protect her"

BUT DAEMON JUST TAKES BABY MAEGARA IN HIS ARMS AND RUNS OUT OF THE RED KEEP

technically, that is what aleksander is. alicent and otto basically gift him to maegara as a companion and then he becomes her personal guard later on. daemon vehemently refuses because no way is he letting a goddamned hightower near his beloved daughter but viserys basically uses his power as king to force this upon daemon.

daemon is very salty about it for the rest of his life but if he ahd to choose between aleksander and aemond, he'd definitely choose aleksander because he knows aemond is already calling his baby "my wife." and wants no part in this.

[darkestspring]

aleksander assuring maegara that she is still as beautiful as ever and that her scar does not change anything !! 🥺🥺 I feel that daemon would tell her that her scar does not change her beauty and that the best warrior in history (visenya) had many of them which she wore with pride, it is her way of comforting her precious daughter. (rhaenys, baela and rhaena give her cute eye patches so she can match them with her dresses)

aleksander would make doubly sure that maegara knows that he loves her and this changes nothing with how he feels for her. aleksander will absolutely press kisses into the fully healed scar when they're alone, whispering to maegara softly that she will always be the most beautiful girl he has ever seen.

daemon will absolutely go feral on anyone who dares to insinuate that maegara's scar makes her any less beautiful or powerful, she is a pure dragon the likes which has never been seen before. so what if she has a scar? visenya was a warrior queen who had many scars.

rhaenys, baela, rhaena, and helaena all makes cute eye patches for her. the one helaena makes has a cute little white spider with red eyes on it. maegara also makes her own eye patches with cute little designs on them.

Not sure if this was done, but I had a little cute blurb:

Say it’s Maegaera’s name day and a tournament is thrown on her special day. All the knights either ask for Heleana’s, Rhaenys, or one of her granddaughters favours but never Maegara due to her eyepatch. The only one who does it is some Baratheon who asks her of her wreath out of mockery and so, Daemon and Alexander desire to enter the tournament in order to be her knights.

Daemon decides to make an example out of an Ayrrn random guy, asking for his daughter’s ring or necklace as a favour.

But for Alexander, she straight up gives him her eye patch as she smiles at him and sits back down with a happy smile.

These two are so beautiful, I canNOT-

maegara, in all her superiority complex, takes great lengths to keep her hurt feelings hidden when people choose others over her, almost as if she wasn't even worthy of giving her favor.

aleksander takes offense to that, and daemon takes an even greater offense to that.

the combined chaos of aleksander and daemon is dangerous, much more than anyone wants.

they both enter just to ask for her favor, completely ignoring everyone else as maegara giggles, eyes lighting up as she gives them both her favor.

aleksander wins the tournament singlehandedly and crowns maegara the queen of love and beauty. the smile of her face is worth it. he kisses her hand as maegara, with all her draconic features, feels all her bad feelings wash away.

aleksander and daemon will burn the world to the ground for her and its so funny.

pls i beg can we get some cute maegara and alek headcannons or snipets or anything. i love them!!! do you think there might be some world where they are able to live and raise their son together <3

i bring to my very special, still in progress, everyone lived happily ever after au where the dance didn't happen. i do have a draft of little maegara snippets, dunno if you guys want me to post it but it exists!

if there was anyone that aerin loved the most in this world, it was his mother. Sure, his father was great, he was strong, he was loving and he fervently protective but his mother had always been the source of such love for him.

he remembered days spent with his head in her lap as she ran her fingers through his hair softly, singing him to sleep. he remembered her shining smile so vividly. 'there was never a day I didn't love you.' she had once told him, her eyes so soft that it hurt.

aerin had always felt his heart ache at the thought, his mother was filled with so much love, for him, for his father, for her family. and yet, he feared her disappointment at his confession that he wanted to be a scholar and not a prince, not a knight or a dragonrider.

maegara targaryen-hightower had smiled at her son, her soft hand taking his hands in hers. He was her pride and joy, her beloved child. "You can be whatever you want, you are not bound by blood. I only hope that you choose a path that brings you infinite happiness like mine brought me."

"because of father?" aerin asks, one brown and one purple eyes staring up at his mother before she smiled, hearing the calls of her father, his grandfather and her beloved husband.

"of course one of the happiest points was meeting your father but knowing that i was pregnant with you made me happier than anything else. if I had to suffer a lifetime of torment with the simple knowledge that i would get to hold you in my arms once again, then it would all be worth it, my beloved aerin. after all, that's what love is. despite all else, the good, the bad, choosing that person against all odds."

"sounds like a fairytail."

"Your father wishes it was a fairytale." the irritated voice of prince daemon spoke and maegara laughed.

"As mean as ever, father."

Okay, I have an ask about Alexsander Hightower-

So imagine if Daemon asks him just how much he loves her in front of everyone at the table, and to even prove it, everyone watches as he removes his armor and top shirt, takes out a knife and literally carves out his own heart and presents it to Maegara Targaryen

“For you, my lady…” he smiles through blood stained lips as his heart still beats while everyone looks at him shocked while Mageara is just holding it in shock as tears spills from her eye

hm... i don't think aleksander would go as far as forcibly removing his heart to offer it to her but that's not saying he would! but he knows it would make maegara sad and traumatized if he did so he definitely would not go that far.

aleksander's devotion to maegara is extreme and i mean that. aleksander is both heavily manipulated and neglected by his family and he's thrown at daemon to be maegara's playmate/companion and then guard at a young age. and the rest of the targaryens saw him as severely untrustworthy, especially daemon who only saw him as otto hightower's nephew, so maegara is the first person who was kind to him without expecting anything in return and that has a big impact on him.

daemon's doubt of the extent of his devotion towards maegara would be perceived as an insult of the highest caliber to aleksander. he loves maegara, he would raze cities and dispose of anyone (even his own family) if it made maegara happy or guaranteed his safety.

aleksander is completely devoted to maegara and only her. but do i think he'd go as far as to commit an act that would traumatize and terrify the lady he was devoted to? no because its the exact opposite of what he wants.

Knight OC all the way !!!

ok his name is aleksander hightower. he's alicent's very younger cousin. he's about 3 or 4 years older than maegara, his face claim for me is brenton thwaites (specifically his role as dick grayson) bc it my brain rot. but he's extremely close with his princess. they usually go everywhere together. alicent and otto approve very much and push for the idea of a marriage between them but daemon literally has to be persuaded out of manslaughter.

viserys is just casually ignoring it because he has blinders in while aemond, aegon and jace are actively trying to sabotage it but it just makes everything so much worse for them.

MAEGARA IN LOVE WITH A KNIGHT IS THE BEST (rhaenyra can't say anything because it would be very hypoctite), how handsome is this knight?

he is fairly handsome. aleksander is three or four years older than maegara and he was basically gifted to maegara as a companion by otto and alicent for maegara's third name day as they insisted that she needed a friend and he'd later become a knight and then her personal guard. he goes with her nearly everywhere.

snippets

welcome to my little series of tiktok audios i make into scenarios to encourage to write just a little bit. (mostly maegara involved since she's my current baby)

"Is this what you really want to talk about?" Aleksander asked Maegara in a soft voice, his hand reaching out for hers. All of the other Targaryens had given them privacy to talk.

It had been a few years since he had seen her face and yet he still remembered her so clearly.

"I died." Maegara voice was soft but not filled with despair or malice, instead she took her death with full acceptance. "And you weren't there." Her voice held no resentment at the statement, only sadness.

Aleksander had cursed himself for years over the agony and not being at her side at her last moment. "I know." He also sounded sad as he held her hand.

"And you died," Maegara sounded like she was holding back her tears as her gaze focused on their entwined hands, "and you came to find me." Maegara's red eyes locked with Aleksander's brown eyes.

Aleksander's hands tightened around Maegara's own hands, his voice containing all the sadness he felt, all the longing he had felt. He was glad that no one was around, this was a side he only showed to his wife. "Of course I did." He spoke, his voice barely above a whisper. "I could do nothing else."

Maegara's red eyes glitters mischievously as she backs up Aleksander into the wall in the abandoned corridor of Dragonstone, looking every bit the dragon that she is.

"You know, I can hear the way your breathing changes every time I call you sweetheart." She purrs at Aleksander before she stopped moving looking at him with an almost predatory look in her eyes.

Aleksander sucked in a breath and Maegara laughed softly.

"There it is again."

Maegara looked down at the disheveled Aegon with narrowed eyes and crossed arms. "Mmm, I never thought I'd have to say this but there's only space in this family for one unstable sibling," Maegara rose her eyebrows as Aegon's groans got louder and goards no doubt ran off to alert their mother.

"And I have held that title for a very long time." Maegara uncrossed her arms as she smoothed down her red dress. "So, you are going to have to get it together, Aegon, or so help me, I will never cover for you ever again."

"You're so annoying." Aegon groaned. "Love you."

"I love you too."

"You kidnapped Aegon??? That's illegal!" Aleksander turned to stare at Jace in disbelief.

"But Ser, what's more illegal? Briefly inconveniencing Aegon or destroying Maegara's one hope for everyone to be there for her birthday." Jace mock gasped dramatically.

Aleksander paused before shaking that thought off and pressing his hand against his forehead.

"Kidnapping Aegon, Prince Jace!" Aleksander retorting, trying to keep his headache from forming.

"Aleksander, listen. Whatever I may think of you right now, Maegara is depending on you to make sure her birthday is the best one yet and so are, all of them. You inspire them." Daemon retorted like it hurt him to say those words.

"What? To kidnap people???"

"To work together."

"TO KIDNAP PEOPLE????"

Jeoffrey took the pause to speak up. "Ser Aleksander, we all agreed. Aegon is not a people."

"I will not let you poison her against me." Alicent hisses, running to catch up to the fast walking rhaenyra. Maegara was alicent's pride and joy, and also currently married to Rhaenyra's heir, jacaerys.

"That's an interesting word choice." Rhaenyra comtinued walking, paying her no mind as she hurried to return to dragonstone. "Since you already did."

"I want to see her." Alicent was on the verge of tears as she continued to storm after Rhaenyra. "She deserves to hear my side of the story, she's my daughter!"

"SHE'S NOT! SHE'S MINE!" Rhaenyra's shout reverberated through the hallways as she spun to face Alicent, a glare on her face. "She is my daughter now. If she wishes to speak to you, she will. I'll let her know you asked about her."

Alicent was left alone in the hallways with tears in her eyes.

"I guess you know my future, right?" It had been an accident how the 11 year old Maegara came across the older version of herself.

"I mean how often do you get a chance like this?" Maegara seemed to burn with curiosity at her older self as her red eyes looked up at her. "There are somethings I-I just gotta know."

The 26 year old Maegara stared down at her younger self, her heart aching at the sight.

"For instance! My marriage." Maegara looked over to the side, a worried look on her face. "Am I doing the right thing marrying Jace? Do we grow old together?"

Maegara felt like she wanted to cry just hearing her younger self, how she had yet to love and lose everything.

"You're going to love him until the day you die." She spoke softly, her expression softening with sadness.

"Maybe I don't need to know anymore than that." the younger maegara smiled, unknowing of the grief she'd receive in return.

"I love you." The declaration that came from Maegara's mouth had stunned Aemond more than it should have. They had both agreed to never mention any of it, so why?

"You love me?" Aemond asks, astonishment painting his features as his voice cracks from his own disbelief. "I thought that we had agreed not to fall in love."

The look in maegara's eyes were enough to make him crumble completely.

"Woah." Maegara's red eyes tinted with mischief as she peers down at Jace. "I knew this would get a rise out of you but still, you really are obsessed, aren't you?" Maegara's smile widened as she leaned even closer.

"Kitten." She practically purred the word before leaning back and laughing.
