"Do you think Haven saw them... like you did?" Alicent pondered gently. Haven sat atop Hellfire gripping the reigns, slapping them as though hellfire was a horse and not a dragon. Davina smiled sliding down Hellfires back. Haven beamed back at them. Davina reached out keeping a hand on Haven as she pretended to ride a stationary Hellfire.
'My mother used to tell me that when we die our ashes turn to star dust, whirling around in the sky.' Davina remarked as she stared up at the sky. 'so when I was up in the air, I would always be with her.''
"Thats beautiful." Alicent remarked.
"She was an amazing woman." Davina rasped as Fury came up nudging against her. "My amazing boy." Davina coed running a hand over his scales.

"Hi mama, what you looking at?" Davina had asked.
"The stars." Alyssa answered kissing davinas cheek.
"Lots of stars up there." davina agreed. "Any star in particular?" She mused and Alyssa laughed holding Davina closer.
"You know I was thinking about my mother, and how she would have loved you." Alyssa informed her. Davina looked up at Alyssa a sad smile on her face. "Do you know why we burn bodies?"
"Because we are fire and blood." Davina answered.
"Yes but also because the dust, our dust and ashes when burned we get a chance at new life." Alyssa remarked.
"What do you mean?"
"When we die out ashes turn to star dust." Alyssa declared bringing a hand up to the sky. "Whirling around the sky, the stars, so when you are flying you are closer to your ancestors."
"When I die we can hang out in the stars together?" Davina offered.
"One day when you are very old and had a very long life, you and I will be reunited in the stars together. But flying Fury, you get to be with everyone that has come before you, before us, they are right there."
"Thats weird and beautiful." Davina informed her.
"Just feeling nostalgic is all." Alyssa remarked. "i remember my wedding to your father." Viserys had wed Aemma and although marriage was the last thing on Davina's mind at the time she thought she might want a love like her mother had. still in love with her father. But another part of her didnt care for boys still. She had her Fury and her family, what more could a girl need?
"Did your siblings pass out in their cake too?" Davina asked glancing back at Daemon.
"Quite possibly," Alyssa agreed. "I was so in love, I am still so in love with your father." Alyssa remarked. "I hope you get the chance to find that, that one true love that rocks you to your core. ''
"I dont know that I want a love like that." davina remarked softly.
"You are still young, plenty of time." Alyssa assured.
"What if I don't have that one person?" Davina countered.
"Maybe you have more than one true love." Alyssa offered.
~
"More than one true love." Alicent repeated.
"She was a smart woman." Davina declared taking a step towards Alicent.
"KISS!" Haven declared clapping.
"She is a babe of few words." Davina remarked looking back at Haven still smiling down at them from Hellfire. "But she speaks with purpose."
"Then best not disappoint her." Alicent agreed bringing her lips to Davina's.
"Best head back." Davina remarked softly as she pulled Haven down.
"NO!" Haven corrected.
"We can come play tomorrow." Davina assured as Haven snuggled into Davina, staring back at Fury and hellfire.
"Bye puppy!" Haven declared.
"Did she just call Hellfire a puppy?" Alicent questioned.
"Damn straight." Davina agreed. "They are puppies."
"Fire breathing puppies." Alicent corrected.

"You ready for the competition tomorrow?" Davina pondered peering in expecting to see Aemond and Haenry in Draeyas room but she was alone. "What's wrong honey?"
"Nothing. I'm ready." Draeya assured as she sheathed her blade.
"Haenry and Aemond were training together today... you didnt join them." Davina countered sitting down on her bed.
"I went against Aegon." Draeya offered.
"Aegon was flirting in flee bottom trying to find a pillow house." Davina corrected. "Try again, truth perhaps."
"I miss dad." Draeya whispered.
"I miss him too." Davina assured as she brought a gentle hand to Draeya's chin lifting her face to meet her gaze.
"I want him to be here to see me. I want him to see me fight and win and... he wont." Draeya whispered.
"He will see you though." Davina assured, feeling tears in her eyes. "He still loves you. He gets bored with all those angels in heaven, he wants to see you fight and win." Davina assured.
"You think he can see us?" Draeya countered.
"I know it. You know when I need to talk to him I fly, or go to the waters... anywhere quiet and alone... we could go talk to him. Before your competition."
"Yeah, I would like that." Draeya agreed.
"And the boys pining endlessly after you?" Davina pondered.
"I dont want my heart to break mama." Draeya whispered as Davina hugged her.
"If we cease to believe in love, why would we want to live?" Davina countered.
"Are you falling in love with someone new?" Draeya whispered.
"I am." Davina admitted. "But it doesnt mean that I dont love or your siblings any less, I love you more and more every day." Davina declared. "And it doesnt mean that I dont love your father any less. I do. I love Harwin so much. Seeing Haenry he looks so much like Harwin as he gets older."
"He reminds me of dad sometimes when we train." Draeya agreed.
"You know I didnt care for boys for a long time." Davina remarked. "I was focused on Fury and fun." Draeya smiled as Davina held her hostage in her arms. "You are so much like me, you dad says so too."
"Best role model ever." Draeya declared as Davina kissed her temple.
Draeya wasn't looking for a knight, she was looking for a sword.

Davina watched Alicent watching her curiously.
"Why so serious? What are you thinking?" she asked.
"I was thinking how beautiful you are, that I want to remember everything about tonight. I don't want to spend a moment without you." Alicent remarked. "How all the tomorrows are uncertain and-" Davina smiled.
"Let's not worry about that." Davina suggested "We have the whole night ahead of us, please, let's enjoy each other while we can. Forget everything else."
