A Baratheon? [She looks both disgusted and enraged. How could a Baratheon take over? Well at least it wasn't a Lannister. Of course Rhaenyra has no idea that she's also the Great Great Great Great Grandmother of Robert Baratheon as well. Still none of it makes a lot of sense to her.
It even makes her pause while dancing with him, a little pre-occupied with what he's telling her.]
My Father is King Viserys. He has married Alicent Hightower. They have two children, Aegon and Helaena. Sometimes his brother, my uncle, visits. [Or gets thrown out, but she doesn't mention that. She won't give credence to rumor.]
The Dead?! [If Jon has shocked her before, she's even more surprised now. Viserys had told her of Aegon's dream, and the fact that Jon is so easily telling her this as her stumbling back for a moment, forgetting the dance altogether. This is her legacy he's telling her. This is everything that has meant anything. The fact that a Baratheon was on the Throne, that the Song of Ice and Fire has happened, it leaves her almost speechless.]

Aegon's dream. It came true.
