Purified in the flames there was always something so bitter sweet about memories. Something the fire always had a hard time cleansing. The mind.
Harwin looked to the necklace, blood tinted the steel as she threw it down.
He wanted to ask what happened. He wanted to ask her if she was alright but he knew better than that. He moved across the room and hugged her tight. He felt her relax into him as her arms wrapped around him.
Davina was the feeling of home. Smell of smoke on his cloak. Miss her over, and over again feeling even if she was gone for but a few hours. That look in her eyes that told him everything was fine.
If it doesn't wake you up in a violent sweat, steal your breath, if it doesn't make a cut that just won't close it wasn't love.
"I love you." Davina whispered kissing him gently.
"I love you." He echoed knowing he would never let her go.

"Did you know that wet nurses and milk maids are strange." Davina remarked. Harwin stared back at her a baby on each tit.
"Why is that?"
"I know they are so the royal family can get back to more important duties but shoving your child onto a stranger, your baby, sucking at their breast... its strange." Davina remarked.
"I agree." Harwin said sitting beside her on the bed. He saw little Vaera look up at him lips still sucking away. "The king is having the boys share a wet nurse, hoping to bond them." Harwin remarked. "Milk buddies, he called it." Harwin chuckled running a hand over Haezel's back before laying his head in Davina's lap.
"Milk buddies?" Davina mused.
"You know what great pals Rhaenyra and Alicent are." Harwin remarked. "He is trying to... bond them."
"They are not going to remember this time in their life." Davina countered. "They eat, shit, sleep and these two babble."
"I wasnt going to correct the king." Harwin remarked.
"I do it all the time." Davina countered.
"You my lovely wife are his sister, you can get away with it."
"You are now his brother by law and a far superior brother to our other he who shall not be named." Davina reminded him.
Vaera burped out as she snuggled into Davina's arm. Haezel followed suit and Davina rolled her shoulders back. Debating the wet nurse idea.
"Sore." Harwin remarked taking the twins and putting them in their crib.
"Helps with the baby weight too." Davina remarked. "That's how I can eat all the carrot cake and still look so good."
"I like your curves." Harwin told her running his hands over her thighs and hips. She locked eyes with him as his lips collided with hers laying her back on the bed, hands roaming over her exposed skin, kissing and massaging at her chest her fingers tracing along his back and into his hair. His chest collided with hers as he found her lips again.
A content happiness filled them and Davina could have stayed like that forever. But there was a bang against the door.
"Oww." Was whined through the door as their heads turned to the sound. "Mama, I hit my head." Haenry whimpered.
"He ran into the door." Harwin remarked getting up. Davina fixed her dress pulling her straps up as Harwin moved to the door. Haenry sat rubbing at his head when Harwin opened the door.
"I need mama kiss it better." Haenry told Harwin as he helped him up. "Mama, why was the door shut?" Haenry asked as Davina pulled him to her, kissing his face all over.
"Why werent you paying attention?" Davina countered.
"No, the door is never closed." Haenry corrected.
"Draeya always opens it first you mean." Harwin suggested.
"Where is your ring leader?" Davina mused kissing at Haenry's cheek.
"She was bossing around Aegon." Haenry remarked.
"Of course she was bossing around Aegon." Harwin agreed.
"She was telling him he wasnt doing it right and then whacked him with a toy sword." Haenry went on and a smile curved on Davina's face.
"Are they still in the courtyard?" Harwin offered.

"I could do better than that." Draeya remarked. Criston stared back at her.
"Princess, this is no place for little ladies." Criston remarked. "The princes are learning to fight."
"Not doing a good job." Draeya countered. "But thats your fault." Criston nodded slowly as he looked at Aegon.
"Princess, why don't you go find your mama?" Criston offered.
"You clearly need me more." Draeya countered yanking free a wooden sword.
"Clearly," Gael agreed.
"You need to go for his legs." Draeya told Aegon. "He is too tall, you can't hit him in the head until you get taller."
"What would you know about fighting Drae?" Aegon countered.
"More than you clearly!" Draeya declared. "See?" She turned around and whacked the back of Criston's knees, he wasnt expecting it and dropped to a knee. "Now he's down and you can go for the head." Draeya explained as she lifted the sword but Criston raised a hand stopping her sword from crashing into him.
"My girl!" Davina declared clapping. Draeya smiled back at Davina before looking to Criston.
"I should have your job." Draeya remarked turning around. Criston looked between Draeya and Davina, he thought about the two girls Davina had birthed a few moons ago... they were in trouble if the twins were like Davina as well.
"I agree, Criston, you are fried." Davina teased.
"Gladly." Criston agreed. "Bested by a child, I will never live this down." Draeya smiled viciously.
