The closer she got to the dragon, the faster Daenerys' heart beat, she could smell the sulfur and smoke, which might be an unpleasant smell to many, but she found it very pleasant.
She watched as her nephew stroked the creature's long neck, and the dragon simply melted to his caresses, as if it were a cat, a cat as big as a hill and spitting fire.
When she got close enough, Daenerys saw the dragon's eyes fall on her, red eyes that resembled hot coals from a bonfire. She was completely paralyzed as the dragon brought its head close to her and began to sniff her, as if discovering something interesting.
Unlike the fear one would feel in such a situation, Daenerys just laughed, she wanted to hug the dragon's snout but hesitated, not wanting to disturb it. But suddenly her hand was caught by another and brought to the dragon's scales.
Feeling the touch transmitted through her hand, Daenerys opened her mouth and looked directly into the dragon's eyes, which were staring back at her.
"Don't be afraid, Caraxes likes you." Daenerys heard her nephew's deep, melodious voice behind her and realized it was he who had forced her to touch the dragon's scales.
"It's beautiful, nephew." She commented with an emotional tone, never in her life had she thought that a nephew could do what she was doing, caress a giant dragon!
"I think he like being called powerful instead of handsome." Aenar commented in an amused tone, really liking Daenerys and Rhaella's reaction to seeing Caraxes so close. The astonishment on their faces, even if it wasn't the first time they saw him, was really interesting.
"Yes, you're a very strong and very handsome boy." Daenerys laughed at Aenar's joke and spoke, stroking the scales warmly to the touch and adding something else to the last part of her speech.
