1. BACK IN ACTION It's important to maintain appearances, particularly when a queen makes a fool of herself by collapsing in a show of weakness before her allies. The events of the mask's removal is a blur to her, honestly, more like a fever-pitched dream than something she's survived. Little flashes of memory flit past: Jon lifting her; Sergeant Chiron removing the mask piece by piece; Irriella sitting atop her lap so she did not restlessly shift, chittering in a worried pitch. The rest is blank, until she'd awoken.
Maintain appearances she does, walking the halls dressedas theQueen of Meereen she once was and still is by proxy. Irriella is close on her heels, too large to properly ride Dany's shoulder any longer.
You may find her looking properly harassed as the crows squawk at her spider, and the spider clicks angrily at the crows. "Come now, is this truly necessary? You're both allies!"
There's something distant to her look, in her eyes, though she's happy to hold conversation and actively approaches those who proffered their aid to her in Gallipoli. Still, she does not seek many out, and can be found more often than not gazing out the windows throughout Base and into the... well, wilderness. "I'd grown used to avoiding the windows because I'd felt as if something was watching me. Now..." A shrug.
2. MIDNIGHT WANDERINGS Sleep is difficult to come by after the first long spell of it. You won't find her those first few days on Base wandering aimlessly; however, as the first week progresses and Dany recovers, you will find her wandering the halls like a ghost some nights. Irriella isn't with her during these nightly wanderings, nor is Jon--and there is a stab of guilt upon knowing she's left him in bed, alone. (But is he truly, when his direwolf has been gifted to him? And gods, the rise of jealousy over realizing that she would not see her dragons worsens the guilt until she cannot bear to be near him for how rotten a thought that is.) Still, the Dragon Queen is mostly sticking to larger, more open spaces.
"It's unfortunate torches don't line the halls," she says by way of greeting. "There's something comforting about a fire."
Only those who really go wandering into the nooks and crannies on Base might find her one night asleep in that space, in the wee hours of the morning. She'll stir only due to the sound of movement, awakening with a sharp inhale and reaching for--nothing. There's no weapon with her. "What are you doing here?"
3. OPEN TO HER CAPTIVE PEEPS (also Jon, Chiron, and Prompto since they can see her whenever they want tbh) The insomnia--as she's been informed--does not only affect her... which is why her fellow captives will one day receive a message from her via the mind ravens, inviting them to her capsule. There's a large barrel in the kitchen area, where Dany sits, sipping red wine out of a glass. Dressed in yet another outfit from her days in Meereen, she'll lift a glass to you in greeting.
"This is one of the finest wines in Westeros. A red summerwine. I'd not tasted it until Olenna Tyrell proffered me a casket of it."
However many of the captives appear, at whatever point they appear, doesn't matter. She'll insist you have a glass (or two, or three) with her.
