A scene from “Unfinished Business”

Rhaenyra: You stand before the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, with a dragon of House Targaryen.

Addam: I had no design upon it.

Rhaenyra: What do you want?

Addam: To learn the ways of dragonriders. And to serve my Queen. [kneels] Your Grace.

Rhaenyra: [approaches cautiously] You kneel quickly for a man so suddenly elevated.

Addam: This Dragon came to me, not I to him. I have sweated blood in service to House Velaryon. I may appear lowborn, but I know much and more of service. And if the Gods call me to greater things, who am I to refuse them?

Rhaenyra: Stand. [Addam stands] What is your parentage?

Addam: My mother was a shipwright. My father is no one of consequence.

Rhaenyra: And your ancestors? Any of House Targaryen?

Addam: We're not the sort of family to keep annals, Your Grace.

Rhaenyra: What is your name?

Addam: Addam.

Rhaenyra: You have done something I feared impossible, Addam. I am glad of it. Do you think you can get him to Dragonstone?

Addam: I can try.
