Claytons party for Thea was better than his brothers by a lot. Clayton took them all to a play in town and Thea and Lottie loved it.

"She is going to be an actress." Thea decided as Lottie was hypnotized by the actors before them. Lottie nodded in agreement.

"Thank you Clay this is wonderful." Thea whispered kissing the top of his head. Otto couldnt fail, he felt silly competition for theas love when she was already his wife but he had to try. He had to try and win this damn competition.

They had cake and wine under the stars after the show and Thea went to bed happy. The next day however Otto needed to figure out what he was going to do for his party for thea.

"What can I do for Theas name day party? Clayton stole my idea." Otto remarked.

"Get her food, her favorite food, a night in." Oliver suggested. "Get a toy for Lottie and tell her you love her."

"I do that most days- the food thing." Otto countered. "Thats not special."

"She is a shit cook, yes it is." Tommy corrected. "Just use that old heart of your while it still ticks." TOmmy suggested. "She clearly likes you, you know her." otto nodded thinking that though.

Thea jumped as cold hands ran over her hips, she spun around whacking who she assumed was Roy or Adiran with a spatula. SHe had been debating food, she didnt like to cook. She could catch it, sure she could catch the meat, she was skilled with a bow and arrow but cooking anything was not in her toolbox.

"Ouch." otto said taking the spatula she was using as a weapon from her. Lottie laughed out clapping her hand.

"Shit sorry." Thea murmured.

"Are you cooking?" Otto questioned and Lottie laughed again. "Even she has little faith in you." Otto mused.

"If I knew you were coming, I would have made something." His eyes narrowed. She scoffed at his doubt. "Hey, I'm getting good at making pasta."

"Westeros' next top pasta chef," he teased with a wink. "Until then, I figured it would be safer for everyone if I cooked." Otto countered and Thea sighed a breath of relief. "Or got you food from your favorite market."

"Oh, thank god," she sighed. "Is this my name day party?" He waggled his eyebrows at her as he delivered one last quick kiss before walking back the table and picked up two brown bags.

"Went to the market, got your favorite." He remarked. She had been so distracted by him that she had blocked out everything else, including the heavenly smell of garlic and pasta.

"Have I mentioned how much I love you?" Thea pondered as he pulled out the heavenly food. Old town had some dilatancies.

"Maybe a time or two, but you can never say it enough." he assured her.

"I love you." Thea purred.

"I love you, more." Just like the first time, heat bloomed on her cheeks, and her heart fluttered. She closed her eyes to live in the moment, taking her first deep breath in what felt like an eternity.

"I also got you something." Otto remarked pulling out a bag. "I figured you were partied out by now and Clayton stole my idea, just so you know." Thea chuckled. "But I got you and Lottie matching... well you just open it and let me know if its terrible." Thea pulled the bag to her and pulled out a red jacket, fine leather, ombre to black, she clutched it to herself.

"This is gorgeous!" Thea declared as she put it on.

"I figured you would want Lottie to start learning bow and arrow after she beat up her brothers at Adrians party so... I had a little one made for her too and a mini bow." Otto remarked holding it up and Theas hand went to her heart.

"Otto that is so sweet!" Thea declared.

"You look enchanting

"You look enchanting."

"Thank you." Thea agreed. "You shoot much?"

"I'm better with a sword." Otto admitted.

"I can teach you," Thea offered.

"The apple trick was impressive." Otto agreed.

"That takes years of practice and many injuries to get to that point." Thea informed him.

"I bet it does... could you teach me?"

"it would be my honor and my pleasure." Thea agreed as she pulled him up. He kissed her gently. "Best no a name day ever." She whispered against him.

"Happy not a name day my love."
