"Davina, thank you... for this. This trip has been really good." Alicent remarked.
"Welcome to the frozen north!" Davina declared. "I'm glad, I told you to trust me."
Alicent nodded as the kids ran forward. Fury huffed out a hot breath, watching his breath appear in the cold air. He did it again and nipped at the air. Davina chuckled staring back at him. Huff, snap, huff, snap. Fury looked to Davina.
"It's cold love." Davina told him running a hand over his leg. "You are not going to catch it... Don't eat the wolves." She added.
"Is that my favorite cousin?" Gaena declared, she looked around all at the children. "Wow, it has been a while." Gaena remarked as Davina spun around hugging her.
"Hey Gia." Davina said happily. "Vis says hey and sends his best... but you don't care about Viserys, you want to meet the littles and I want to meet Laela!"
"The dragon egg you sent." Gaena put a hand on her heart. "Dav, that was so sweet of you."
"Did it hatch?" Davina asked hopefully. Gaena's egg never hatched and Davina knew how much Gaena wanted a dragon when they were little.
"It did." Gaena agreed. "Laela is so happy, her little face when it burst, my face was probably the same if I'm being honest. It was so magical."
"I'm so glad." Davina agreed. "Oh, where are my manors?" Davina chuckled. "This is Harwin," Davina remarked pulling Harwin to her. "He may look all tough and rugged but he is scared of our eldest daughter."
"Great introduction Davina." Harwin murmured sticking out his hand. 'Nice to meet you."
"Scared of your daughter, she must be like Dav then." Gaena mused.
"Here stands Harwin Breakbones Strong," Davina declared and Harwin put a hand up to cover his embarrassed face. "the strongest knight in the seven kingdoms who shows no fear to his enemies in battle, is absolutely terrified of his daughter of 6, Draeya Strongaryen."
"Strongaryen? I like that." Gaena remarked. "Stargaryen?" she tested it out with her new name of Stark and Targaryen. "That's so fun, why don't people do that?"
"See, Gia is great and didnt focus on your fears of Draeya." Davina added.
"Davina," Harwin begged.
"Then my littles." Davina reached a hand back. "Draeya and Haenry, Vaera and Haezel. This is auntie Gaena." They echoed hellos as Vaera held up her baby dragon.
"Look!" Vaera declared.
"So cute." Gaena said kneeling before her.
"You want to-" Vaera began but Haezel screamed to wait as she ran back and got her dragon. SHe was huffing and puffing out of breath when she came back and held hers out to Gaena.
"Double cuteness!" Gaena told them.
"want to know-" Vaera began again.
"-their names?" Haezel finished.
"Of course.' Gaena agreed and Davina loved the look in their eyes as Vaera and Haezel smiled back at each other.
"Cookie!"
"Monster!" They declared laughing out.
"Wonderful names!" Gaena agreed before looking to Alicent, Aemond was already clinging to Davina's leg. "Your grace." Gaena remarked.
"Oh, right. Sorry." Davina offered a sweet smile. "Alicent, this little on my leg is Aemond, the big little man is Aegon, the one chasing a butterfly is Helaena and that man that looks like he could be a statue is Criston." Davina waved a finger around stopping at Criston.
"Thank you for having us." Alicent said stepping forward.
"Of course, anything for family. Come on in. You must be cold." Gaena remarked ushering them inside.
Draeya got along with Laela great, Laela was only a year younger than Daerya and Haenry, and Aemond. Draeya was excellent at corralling the children and playing games she wanted to and making it seem like it was their idea.
"Gaena, your daughter is so polite." Harwin remarked as they sat around the fire, drinks in hand, Davina on Harwin's lap his hand running up and down her thigh.
"Thank you, she is the sweetest." Gaena agreed as her husband Brandon came back adding another log to the fire. Alicent watched them and wondered what could have happened if she wasnt queen, who she might have been, who she would have ended up with, if she would be married, having children yet. If her and Rhaenyra would still be friends.
"How did you raise such a sweet and polite little lady?" Harwin mused and Davina slapped at his chest. "Just a question." HArwin offered innocently as he kissing her shoulder.
"That's not right. You are doing it all wrong Aegon." They heard Draeya announce from the other room.
"Draeya is perfect. I don't know why Harwin is so scared of her." Davina murmured.
"I'm not scared of Draeya." Harwin corrected. "I just want to know what the Starks did to raise such a perfect daughter in comparison."
"Davina and I took etiquette lessons when we were younger." Gaena remarked and Davina groaned.
"Those were horrible." Davina declared.
"I liked it." Gaena countered.
"That's because you got paired up with Tommen!" Davina reminded her.
"How is Tommen?" Gaena asked curiously.
"Good. Handsome as always." Davina answered and she felt Harwin's grip on her tighten. "Then after my trip to dorne I came home and promptly fucked my handsomer husband." Davina reminded him as she kissed him.
It was nice and strange to see Davina like this. Alicent had spent so much time isolating herself that seeing the world again, being thrown into the madness and love that was davina was... refreshing. Davina didnt sugar coat things, she didnt beat around the bush. She said it like it was and Alicent thought before that her bluntness was irritating but now she found it refreshing. Hearing the truth. She had met too many people that told her things they thought she wanted to hear in order to get in with the crown, they didnt care about her.
Davina however told Alicent the good news the bad news and the ugly. Not wanting or needing anything just truth, bitter and loud at times. But it was refreshing nonetheless.
"You got stuck with Lewyn Lannister." Gaena recalled.
"I think that is where my hatred started." Davina agreed.
"It was a show." Gaena informed them.
"Knowing Davina, I bet." Criston agreed.
"It was..." Davina chuckled nodding. "It should have been a warning, even then I was anti Lannister."
