He doesnβt quite hover, but waits until sheβs on the mare before he mounts his own horse. Once in the saddle, the nurse lifts Aegon up to him and he settles his nephew in front of him, arms carefully boxing him in safely.
His head bows a little, bringing his horse up next to Alicent. ] I promise to keep him safe, Alicent. On my life.
