Daenerys Targaryens Intimate Bath Ritual It had been a long day and they had ridden far. After they had made camp, Dany asked Doreah, Irri and Jhiqui to get her bath ready. She loved to take a bath after the long traveling days and only felt rested after she had scrubbed away the dirt and sand from her body and hair. When the bath was ready Dany's handmaidens helped her clean away the grime. It took some time as the roads they traveled where dry and dusty. Dany laid in the bath, enjoying the cleaning ritual performed by Doreah and Irri. She reflected on her life and how her brother liked to use, command and rule over her. But that was in the past now as her life as Khaleesi changed all that. Drogo never spoke to Dany about his feelings for her brother, but she was aware of his the intense dislike he felt towards Viserys. After Doreah and Irri had cleaned her thoroughly, they helped her out of the tub and placed her in the hands of Jhiqui, who massaged her. Lying down on fresh linen blankets, Jhiqui massaged her aching muscles with oil and then sprinkled her with spiceflower and cinnamon. Doreah would comb her hair; no one had hair like Daenerys. When it was clean and free of tangles, it would shine like spun silver. Dany ate her supper; she wasn't a large eater and she didn't usually like to eat the horse meat. She nibbled on some cheese and fruit. She drank a small jug of honeyed wine to wash it down. The handmaidens bade her goodnight and left her alone. Dany eagerly awaited her Khal; her thoughts had been of him most of the evening. When he finally entered the tent she quickly rose to greet him. Drogo stood naked in all his glory. His body was washed and oiled while his beautiful hair was loose. It draped the length of his body. Dany loved his hair. …and then things took a turn
