Full scene of Rhaegar and Lyanna’s final farewell, Act II of ‘Game of Thrones: The Mad King’ | Part 1/2 🐉🐺 (The Tower of Joy in the daytime. Arthur and Oswell run on stage, searching for Rhaegar) Arthur: Rhaegar! Oswell: My prince! (Rhaegar enters, carrying a sack of fruits and a carcanet of flowers) Oswell: Your Grace, you must not wander unattended! Rhaegar: Lyanna was craving fruit. (Lyanna walks on stage from the opposite side, heavily pregnant and giggling. Rhaegar runs to her and they meet in the center of the stage, where he kneels to lay the fruits at her feet, and puts the carcanet of flowers around her neck. They sit on the ground together.) Rhaegar: Here, sweetling: mulberries, figs, grapes, and red apricot. And a carcanet of desert wildflowers in lieu of new clothing. Lyanna: Did you weave this yourself? Rhaegar: (Pointing at the flowers) Pennyroyals, honey blossoms, goldencups. Lyanna: (Smiles) These are weeds, my love. They're pretty weeds, I'll concede. (Ser Gerold Hightower enters. Rhaegar bolts up, Arthur and Oswell quickly move to stand by his side. Lyanna gets up too but turns her back to them, concealing her pregnant belly) Oswell: Lord Commander. What news from the capital? Arthur: How fares my sister? Gerold: Return to King's Landing and seek these answers yourselves. Traitors to your posts, turncoats hiding while the realm burns! Prince Rhaegar, you are given charge of the royal host and commanded to end this. Long have we waited fighting a war you began. (Pause) What holds you here, Your Grace, Sers? What could be of more consequence than the fate of the realm? Rhaegar: You look upon it. (Rhaegar steps aside and gestures for Arthur and Oswell to step to the side too. Lyanna turns around so Gerold can see her, cradling her pregnant belly.) Part 2 will be in the replies! 💐 ✐ᝰ art by adelikashere / commissioned by Rubylovescatby
