A scene from “Unfinished Business”

Helaena: I feel sad about Jaehaerys. But I ought not to, I think. People die all the time, especially babes. They're so little, so they're taken so easily.

Alicent: Sadness is a condition of motherhood.

Helaena: There's naught to be gained from it. That horrid procession where the smallfolk all stared at me. I warrant they thought I had no more right to grief than they do. Surely they lose their babes more than highborn ladies.

Alicent: The Stranger comes for us all, queen and commoner. You have as much claim to grief as anyone.
