WHAT DAENERYS TARGARYEN LIKES IN A ROMANTIC PARTNERA loyal and reliable partner: Drogo had been more than her sun-and-stars; he had been the shield that kept her safe. | The dragon has three heads. There are two men in the world who I can trust, if I can find them. I will not be alone then. We will be three against the world, like Aegon and his sisters. | “Promise me that you will never turn against me. I could not bear that. Promise me.”A partner who can help her protect her people: “To be my king and consort, you need only bring me peace.” | “Dorne is too far away. To please this prince, I would need to abandon all my people. You should send him home.”A kind and caring partner: He tried to spare me the sight of the dead children too. He should not have done that, but he meant it kindly. | He has gentle hands, she mused, as warm fragrant oils ran between her toes. If he has a gentle heart as well, I may grow fond of him in time.A partner who teases her and makes her laugh: And Daario Naharis made her laugh, which Ser Jorah never did. A partner who gives her flowers: On the road from Yunkai, Daario had brought her a flower or a sprig of some plant every evening when he made his report … to help her learn the land, he said. Waspwillow, dusky roses, wild mint, lady’s lace, daggerleaf, broom, prickly ben, harpy’s gold … | Oh, and flowers for my hair. When first they met, the captain brought her flowers every day, all the way from Yunkai to Meereen. | “No heads,” Dany insisted. “Once you brought me flowers.”A partner who is content with a simple life: In her dream they had been man and wife, simple folk who lived a simple life in a tall stone house with a red door. | If she had been some ordinary woman, she would gladly have spent her whole life touching Daario, tracing his scars and making him tell her how he’d come by every one. I would give up my crown if he asked it of me, Dany thought.A partner who is spirited and spontaneous rather than prim and proper: In Meereen I was a queen in silk, nibbling on stuffed dates and honeyed lamb, she remembered. What would my noble husband think if he could see me now? Hizdahr would be horrified, no doubt. But Daario […] would laugh, carve off a hunk of horsemeat with his arakh, and squat down to eat beside her.A partner who knows how to kiss and who is good in bed: “Kiss me as if I were your wife.” […] His kiss was light and dry and quick. Dany felt no stirrings. […] On her terrace, in her bathing pool, the little fish would nibble at her legs as she soaked. Even they kissed with more fervor than Hizdahr zo Loraq. | No one had ever kissed her like Daario Naharis. | Will Hizdahr ever make me scream? | That night Daario had her every way a man can have a woman, and she gave herself to him willingly.A partner with swagger: She liked the swagger she saw in this Daario Naharis. | Daario Naharis entered swaggering. He swaggers even when he is standing still. | I wanted you from the first time that I saw you.A partner who is passionate and dangerous: And what man could hope to rival Drogo, who had died with his hair uncut and rode now through the night lands, the stars his khalasar? | Dany wondered where Daario Naharis was, what he was doing. If this were a story, he would gallop up just as we reached the temple, to challenge Hizdahr for my hand. | If he loved you, he would come and carry you off at swordpoint, as Rhaegar carried off his northern girl, the girl in her insisted, but the queen knew that was folly. -- source link
