"Excuse me?" Viserys stopped approaching, now looking at Illyria like she was speaking another language. Had she just asked him to step away? He couldn't fathom why a lovely young mare like her would be so rude and so decided to carry on as if she had said nothing.
"You're all alone, so I thought you might want some company." Another thing occurred to him. She had left off his title and would have to be corrected later. Dany really did have lax rules if she let her subjects address her like she was some sort of commoner.

Illyria coldly straightened her posture to squarely look Viserys in the eyes. There was a brief flicker of something as she took in the stallion's appearance before her gaze narrowed at his tone when he asked his question. Illyria was set to reply before Viserys continued on, heedless of the whatever her reply or feelings might be on the matter.
"I asked rather nicely if you could step back. Since you have not taken another step towards me I believe that you heard me the first time."
Illyria's cool gaze locked onto Viserys's as she lowered her voice a little. "Have you ever thought that I have chosen to remain alone? Not everyone craves company Viserys. Now I please ask you again to leave me be. You won't like the consequences if I have to ask you again."

Viserys threw his head back and glared. He had been trying to be polite to her, and she'd thrown it right back in his face. If she didn't care for politeness that was fine. He could be just as cold as she was.
"You will address me as Prince Viserys when you speak to me," he informed her icily. "You should feel honored that someone like me even notices you." He didn't consider her dangerous in the slightest, just another mare that had gotten too haughty for her own good.

"Prince Viserys is it," the sound of contempt was thick in Illyria's voice as she watched the stallion. The mare snorted in derision. There was no way that she was backing down from the unspoken threat in Viserys's words. "What happens if I don't address you as such, Viserys?"
Illyria gave a conscious look around her before drawing herself to her full height and spreading her wings wide. "Why would I feel honored to be in the company of a total mongrel? And yes, I dare to call you a mongrel for that is what I see you as. I have more royalty coursing through my blood than do you. It seems I have the right to teach you some better manners."
Illyria tossed her mane back and brought her left wing down to swat at Viserys's face. If he didn't back up he would suffer the consequences. Illyria didn't want to fight but Viserys was not letting the matter go.

The wing hit Viserys straight in the face. His head swung back at the impact, but he was more stunned than hurt. He couldn't remember the last time that someone had struck him. He definitely had never been hit by a mare before. When he pulled himself back into alignment it was with bared fangs.
"I'll make you regret that," he hissed, snapping at Illyria with sharp teeth.

Illyria was not one to let someone else fight her battles. It was why if she felt it was necessary that she would leave the Khalasar instead of having them fight to protect her. With that reasoning in mind Illyria had already made a few minute adjustments to her stance before she'd taken the initiative to attempt to hold back Viserys. When he snarled at her she rolled her eyes. The teeth were something that she would have to watch out for.
As Viserys snapped at her Illyria took a step back before pushing herself forward. Better to press the attack than cower from it. Her weight might not be as heavy as a stallion's, but her move could have taken Viserys by surprise. "You do not scare me Viserys."

His teeth found nothing but air. Furious, he glared at Illyria like some sort of vicious animal. The last time he had been this angry had been in the desert. He'd wanted to kill Daenerys then and failed... but this sorry little mare didn't have scales and dragons to protect you.
"You should be afraid of me," he growled. "You've woken the dragon!" With that, he lunged at her again, teeth snapping viciously at any part of her he could reach.

Daenerys blinked up from the rabbit bone she had been chewing on. Something sounding an awful lot like raised voices was coming from the direction of the others. She turned around and stared in furious shock. It was Viserys. Viserys was attacking Illyria.
"Drogon!" Her dragon was the first she called to. He was flying overhead and gave a squawk of acknowledgement when he heard his name. For now, gaining his attention was enough. He flew ahead of her as she began to run over to the altercation.
"Roarke!" She called to the commander of her queensguard next. She had faith that Roarke would be able to understand what she needed him for.

At first Illyria thought that she could hold off Viserys's attacks but her slight figure soon had her on the defensive. Perhaps it had not been wise to rile the stallion but Illyria had expressed her displeasure at least three times before she had made the first move. Each warning had gone ignored. Illyria had been in the right to do something to make Viserys see that his company wasn't welcomed.
All that flashed through her mind before she heard an audible crunch. Pain erupted along one of her wings and she looked up startled. How had she not noticed how close she'd moved in her battle? Viserys had caught her right wing in his latest strike with his teeth. She fought the agony and brought her free wing down repeatedly in a barrage of strikes hoping it would be enough to persuade the stallion to release her trapped wing. "Let me go this instant."

 Roarke's head lifted when he heard his name called. He turned to see why he was being summoned at such a time and spotted the trouble immediately. Viserys was attacking Illyria. Roarke had tolerated Viserys so far only because it seemed to be what Daenerys wished. That seemed to have changed. Roarke snarled and raced towards the fighting pair fully intent in skewering the viper in their midst. There had been enough pain and suffering in the khalasar already, they didn't need her wretched brother causing more.

Viserys spat out the wing and pulled back, vision obscured by the buffeting of Illyria's other wing. There had been a suspicious sort of crunching sound when he attacked. Viciously, Viserys hoped that her wing had broken. No stallion would ever want her if she was hobbled and grounded!
His ears were ringing from Illyria's counterattack but he was still ready to strike again... except that there seemed to be others on their way.
"Roarke!" he called out to the charging stallion. "Seize her! This whore attacked me!" They would see who was in the right, he was certain.

At least her other wing still worked perfectly. As soon as Viserys spit out the mouthful that he had she awkwardly tucked her right wing tight to her side. Illyria trembled with a mix of seething rage but more so with the sensation of pain that was radiating from her right wing. There could be no doubt that Viserys had done damage to it. How bad would have to be determined at a later time. Illyria's gaze locked on Viserys's before she heard the pounding of hooves coming towards her.
The look she sent towards Viserys could have burned him to a crisp as she registered the words he spat towards Roarke. How dare he label her so? Illyria was about to charge towards him again, broken wing be damned, before shaking a little. It wouldn't be good to damage anything else and help had arrived it seemed.

"Roarke, capture Viserys!" Daenerys was almost there now. Viserys and Illyria were temporarily apart and something caught Dany's eye. Illyria was holding her wing at an odd angle to her body and something just didn't seem right about it. Instantly Dany remembered back to something she had seen in her foalhood, a bird hopping around who had been holding her wing at an angle like that. A bird with a broken wing.
Her blood boiled, her own dragon fury awakened. "No, drive him away!" Viserys didn't deserve the time it would take to listen to his twisted version of the story. "Drive him away from the herd!"

"I doubt that..." Roarke snorted at Viserys as he looked at Illyria. Viserys might look a bit disheveled but Illyria looked like she'd just had taken a trip straight through hell and back again. The moment Daenerys gave him an order he was more than happy to oblige. Baring his fangs Roarke approached Viserys slowly. He had been told to capture Viserys, he would rather gore him a bit at the moment but capture would work. Then she suddenly changed her mind and Roarke grinned.
"Bye bye." He snapped lowering his head so that his horns were angled at Viserys's chest. Then he charged like a bull. Roarke's horns were sharp and sturdy. If Viserys knew what was good for him he would run.

Viserys was delusional, not suicidal. He knew exactly what Roarke could do to him and wasn't going to stick around to experience it. Fear replaced anger and he turned and ran, his tail whipping behind him. He was so frightened that he briefly forgot he could fly. As soon as he remembered, his wings tore open and clawed at the air. Roarke couldn't had no wings! He'd be safe if he could get aloft.
Viserys' flailing hooves left the ground as he took to the air. Frantically, he continued beating his wings. He didn't know how high the scaled beast could jump!
