you'll no longer fear when your heart's turned to gold
WHO: Viserys Targaryen and YOU
WHERE: All over
WHEN: Month of February
WHAT: Stuff and things - first meetings, reunions, you name it
WARNINGS: Well his canon is what it is and Viserys is harsh to women, especially verbally...will update if there needs to be more here!
NONAH 006;
So. He's definitely dead. He's also not quite sure what sort of beyond this entire set up is. It's...nothing he'd ever been told, or been hinted it, or even imagined. The world was completely different. His ancestors were not sitting atop bejeweled thrones waiting to welcome him into their arms and tell him the future of their name. No comfort for his end, for his sister becoming a kinslayer. No reassurance. No horses, either, no sun, no dirt, no savages...something far more confusing and stranger and awaited, and for once in recent years? Viserys was rather cooperative and quiet. A magical feat to be sure, for when he was taken to his new "home" (ha-ha-ha) and began to find his footing, even a little bit, that shock slid down into his belly to join the rest of his nicely marinated bitterness. He'd be back in regular form sooner rather than later. He wasn't about to change out of his rotting clothes, which would help, tattered once-black top with a three-headed red dragon being the most notable thing on him.
He had managed to find the place while empty. That won't last forever. And his new roommates can come across him in a variety of ways. Perhaps he's turned the water faucet off and on in the kitchen, staring at it in an angry sort of confusion. Perhaps he's doing the same...in a bathroom that is not his. Or more invasive still: opening, inspecting, and trying to make sense of hygienic products most men would flee from. Perhaps he's standing in front of the TV with nothing but static on, or a really terrible infomercial about Tupperware, confused but amazed. He may be in the hallway, turning the lights off and on, seemingly offended by their mere existence. Or something else. Anything is possible.

He is...trying. A little. There is some effort happening here that does not at all involve taking off the symbol of his family. So the clothes are a bit tattered and worn, and perhaps a little musty, so what! They are far, far better than anything this world has to offer. But. He is still trying. Trying to make sense of vehicles, and the many people, and places, of dogs and cats, of ice cream and other sweets, of hamburgers and foods he'd never have in the lands he was meant to rule, of the tall buildings, of just about everything there was or was not. So he can be found in quite literally any given situation, either looking grumpy and confused and standing out due to his whole everything, or perhaps causing a scene by nearly getting hit by a car. By offhandedly telling a hot dog vendor his food tastes better than horse meat, and getting some looks for it. Or worse than horse meat! Sky's the limit here, have a ball.

And then, in this world of impossibility, he sees an impossibility that is familiar. A shadow hits the ground that he has seen in his dreams only. Looking up, he knows, despite knowing there are no more dragons—not those sort, anyway. From the reactions of those nearby, he also knows he isn't the only one who saw that. Who saw a dragon.
He followed. Like he'd heard the cry of his own child, Viserys kept an eye on wings and one ahead, and ran. Past any city he may have been near, into longer grasses, through shallow waters, it didn't matter. Suddenly he had all the energy and stamina in the world. Who can know the heart of a dragon, if not another dragon?
He worried he'd lost him, until he reached a steep slope. At the bottom of it was, yes, a dragon. A real dragon. So very dark in color, reminding him of a smaller Black Dread, stories and paintings running through his mind more than real fear. He was a Targaryen, he had nothing to fear. He knew. The dragon would know, too. That's how they were in days long past, anyway — surely that would be the same now?
His feet moved slowly, his heart beating just the opposite. Only when the dragon turned and noticed him did Viserys stop. Dead in his tracks, open-mouthed, in awe, hair and eyes a very very familiar shade...but the man himself, perhaps not familiar at all. Perhaps not having made the best decision here but still taking another step forward, for once looking every bit as humbled and submissive as he'd demanded of his sister.

"You mock everyone yet your tongue is still attached." Wonder why. He wrinkles his nose and his lips thin out, more angry young man than fearsome dragon. "My father never ate this dish you speak of."
So it can't really be the food of kings...
He is, however, not saying that. His stomach is turning his anger into something else. Something not quite hangry, just hungry. His company isn't the most desirable but. Perhaps he knows things. Things Viserys did not live to see. It would be stupid to walk away from potential information, enemy or no.
He looks to the menu and slowly drags it over.

At the very least Viserys is looking at the food now. Tyrion allows the muscles alongside his spine to incrementally and very slightly relax.
A pause; he lets Viserys read while he considers the matter of broaching his new loyalties. To most his concern is the deviation from family, but the Targaryen children were not completely raised in Westeros and therefore perhaps he would not expect Tyrion to put his name before anything else. Where he foresees real eggshells is Tyrion choosing to extend his services to Daenerys in particular.
"You know who I am of course, and I know you. I had been traveling with your sister for some time before my arrival here."

But he focused on something else at the moment. He'd spent a great deal of care raising his sister to be proud of their heritage and to know, without a doubt, that such pride wasn't misplaced. Certain strategic edits had to be put in place. Abridged tales, family members left unmentioned. The sort of family he'd expect their enemies to latch onto and hold out as a true Targaryen, those with their unique madness. For Viserys, his name is everything; he does not expect that out of anyone who is not a Targaryen. At least not to such great extents.
Viserys looks at Tyrion as a wary man does any strange, large dog, masking his wariness as best he can but not good enough. The tells are there. He sits up straighter, lips no longer sneering. Concern. Poorly hidden but by all the gods he tries.
"I do hope you haven't been telling her lies in these travels. I heard so many outrageous rumors about our father all the way across the Sea. She was only a babe at that time. She would not remember all that nonsense."
He put work into his sister's fierce dragon-ness, all right, he won't have anyone gleefully undermining that over spaghetti, it is not to be tolerated.
