Its quite thrilling for Mysaria to be in a working relationship that allows that.
From a technical standpoint, how intentional was the choreography of the hug into the kiss?
Were there multiple versions of it?It wasnt scripted as a kiss.
But it just felt right.
The hug was really the enlightened moment between them, and that was Emmas idea.
Because Rhaenyra does have passion and empathy.
She can understand these things.
The hug was so arresting because we realized that people dont really hug in this show.
They dont hug in this kind of way.
It was such agorgeoushug, and the kiss came so organically from that.
It was very considered.
We rehearsed it but it was also totally organic.
Mysaria is allowing herself to be her full self, and shes coming into herself.
This is part of that process.
She hasnt spoken about this before to anyone.
Shes not doing it for pity.
Its a rally, and is meant to help Rhaenyra understand what theyre fighting for.

She believes that Rhaenyra can win the war.
She really has to believe that.
But its a situation where Mysarias counseling is very important.
Is Mysaria more attracted to Rhaenyras power or her vulnerability?God, I think probably the whole package.
I dont think she understood her attraction to Rhaenyra before this moment at all.
In hindsight, they realize the attraction was always there or maybe it wasnt!
But that moment opens something up.
I also noticed that Mysaria is wearing braids in this episode, quite like Rhaenyras.
What is the significance of the change?That similarity is really the significance of it.
Shes immersing herself fully, making a visual statement to show that shes committed to this way of being.
TheHouse of the Dragonfandom have been very vocal about shipping various non-couples in the show.
Have you and Emma discussed this?No we havent, but yeah, Im a bit scared.
I know the fans like to shipAlicent and Rhaenyra, of course, because who wouldnt?
Ive probably got some people coming for me after this.
I think theyre a great couple!
