Renvas eyes widened once she heard the lone wolf. She knew it was about her, who else could it refer to? Aemond looked from his sister to the Stark girl. Once making eye contact Renva sprung into action, "She passed out due to stress probably. Hold her up for a moment," Renva spoke to Aemond. Their first speaking since that day in the training grounds. Once Aemond held her up, Renva loosed her corset, allowing blood flow and air to easily move. "Now lay her flat on her back on the floor." Aemond did as instructed. Once on the floor Renva put her ear to the Princesses nose, feeling air flow and hearing her low breathing she knew she would be okay.
Turning towards the handmaidens who stood idle in the room not knowing what to do since the Princess never passed out before. "I need a cool cloth, the coldest water you can get." The maids rushed out of the room at Lady Renva's request.
"How do you know how to do all of this?" Aemond asked, turning towards her and looking her over with his one eye. "Growing up, my personal handmaiden Ms. Kaila, would faint from time to time. Maesters said that it was due to the stress of watching over my brothers and I when my father couldn't. However I don't think that was the actual reason." Revna spoke while brushing the hair out of Helena's face.
"What do you think the real reason is?" Aemond asked, remembering his mothers orders to befriend the girl for a potential marriage to bind House Stark to the Hightowers specifically. "She was a fighter, always going against the males in Winterfell, the only man she ever respected was my father. She was the one who introduced me to fighting secretly." Renva spoke of the women with a smile upon her face. "She wasn't one to stress out easily. Kaila did however confide in me one evening, she said she was sick, it wasn't contagious or else she would have left Winterfell in a heartbeat. But it was something that would take her from this world earlier than she had thought." Renva finished her tale and glanced at Aemond, he was about to speak when the doors slammed open again. The maids came back with Queen Alicent at their tails.
"What happened to my daughter?" Alicent asked no one specifically. "She fainted, your grace, she spoke a dream and then just collapsed." Renva said, taking the cold cloth's from one of the maids and placing one on her forehead and one on the back of her neck. Helena stirred and started mumbling the dream again. "Renva helped me make her comfortable until she woke up." Aemond said standing to his mother to console her and distract her from his sister's mumblings. A side of him that Renva never saw before, she knew Alicent was closest to her middle children rather than the oldest and youngest. Although she never saw Aemond reciprocate any feelings of love or concern until today. "I graciously thank you Renva." Alicent spoke with a tear in her eye as she went over to her daughter who slowly opened her eyes.
"I will leave you all then, if you need me I will be in my chambers after I return a book to the library." Renva excused herself and let what of the family was there be in solitude.

Renva was not interrupted for the rest of the night. She wondered where Jace was, she hadn't seen him all day. She wondered if everything was okay with the Velaryon boys. Glancing out of the window in her room she stared at the Weirwood tree. A tree that they also had in Winterfell, she would sit there for hours and read until it grew too dark to see anything without candle light.
Looking under the tree she spotted Signe. She was fast asleep, close enough so if Renva needed help she could be there but far enough to still feel the freedom she had in the North. Renva wondered if it was a good idea to keep her in the Red Keep with her or if she would have been happier going back to Winterfell with Nika. Hearing a soft knock upon her door, she responded with "Come in." Turning to see who would enter the room she was shocked to see Princess Rhaenys. "Your grace, to what do I owe the honor?" Renva spoke and bowed to the older Princess.
"Please rise child. I have come to speak to you about some accusations that have been made about my grandchildren." Renva was confused. Why would Rhaenys speak to her about such things? "I mean no offense you grace, but why are you talking to me about this?" Renva said, speaking of her confusion. "Because when my good brother comes tomorrow there shall be a petition on the succession of Driftmark. To secure my houses protection, I will be offering Princess Rhaenyra a proposal. Two actually." Rhaenys said. Renva knew where this was going. Any logical woman would, and she didn't blame Princess Rhaenys for it at all.
"I'm guessing it is with Princess Rhaenyra's eldest children and Laenas children? And for that to work you would like me to step back from Prince Jacaerys." Renva said, connecting the dots and looking at Rhaenys. "You are a smart girl. You will survive here-" Rhaenys said and was about to leave when Renva cut her off. "I didn't say that I would, If the time comes, I won't fight for Jace. But I won't hurt him either." Renva said and gestured for Princess Rhaenys to leave her chambers.
"You remind me of my daughter. You will do great things." With that Princess Rhaenys left and Renva was alone with her thoughts again.
