They are.

As long as we are outsiders in this community, we must stand up for each other. Or where would you draw the line?

To the people who aren’t making life harder. Might seem naive, to a Queen.

I understand what you mean, but we might need those people later on. We cannot afford to push them away now.

Spoken like a real politician.

Would you advise me to take another route? I am afraid there is no other, not for me.

[ not when her sons are here. ]

My departments justice, Alicent. You know best.

So I would have your loyalty?

Do I gotta get on one knee here and swear fealty? I'm on your side, Alicent.

[ that may be true, but he must expect something in return. men always do. ]

You hardly know me, Jim.

Yeah, I know. But I like what I do know.

I hurt you.

It was a little bit of an overreaction to the wrong kind of tea, I admit.

I deeply regret it. I was not myself, but I do not know what I have done to earn your forgiveness and loyalty.

It wasn't really a normal set of circumstances, Alicent. I don't blame you. We all did things that weren't necessarily us.

I know.

I will make it up for you, I swear.

You don't gotta make anything up to me.

I want to.

Please let me.

You could remind me to private my public arguments every now and then, I guess. We'd be square.

I suppose I could.

In the case I wasn't too amused by it.

At least somebody’s getting a laugh out of it.

I apologize.

Do they always give you such a hard time?

Unfortunately. It's like they don't want me to grow my hair back.

Did you have long hair once? I cannot imagine it.

Nothing crazy. A full head. Moustache. I had it shaved off when - well. I had it shaved off.

But you are attempting to grow it back? It might help keep you warm during the winter.
