"If I hate you then I love you then I change my mind..." Davina remarked as she brushed out her hair, she glanced at Maegor through the vanity mirror. "If I need just a little more time to deal with the fact that you should have treated me right... Then I'm more than just a little justified."

"You were dreaming, I didnt cheat on you, I'm a good husband." Maegor corrected. "I would never because I know the kind of pain you would inflict and I know you would enjoy it."  Davina smiled back at him. 

"Was I dreaming or was I predicting the future?" Davina countered. 

"You gotta calm down!" Maegor declared.

"Calm d..." Davina sputtered back at him.

"You just... You gotta..." Maegor hesitated. "back off and calm down. It was a dream, Dav it was a dream."

"I'm sorry, what did you say to me?" Davina met his gaze with a deadly and sexy glare. "What did you just say to me? Did y..."

"I said c-c-c-calm down." Maegor sputtered he moved to Daemon, only a year old and he was already a mama's boy. Maegor hoped that having a baby in his arms would keep Davina from going crazy, but she had those crazy eyes starting.

"Calm down?" Davina repeated taking threatening steps towards him.

" Yeah, before you explode!" Maegor begged. 

"You're gonna tell me, to calm down... Oh, ca... calm down"?" Davina demanded.

"W-What... No, no, no, you're overreacting. All I said was "calm down." Maegor reminded her.

"I'm overreacting?!" Davina spat back.

"Seven hells." Maegor muttered.

"Nobody in the world wants to be told to calm down, Maegor. No one, especially not your wife!" Davina reminded him.

" Mm-hmm." Maegor saw himself losing his head. "Look I have a baby, your littlest love, don't hurt Daemon..." Maegor offered. Davina plucked Daemon from his arms and Daemon snuggled into her. Maegor was both turned on with how sexy and terrifying she was right now and also fucking terrified he was going to die all over a stupid dream she had while on her moons bleeding, she had the strangest dreams. Maegor didnt want to lose her over a fucking dream that didnt happen.

"It's like telling someone, 'You know what? You're stupid. You're stupid for feeling the way you feel." Davina informed him.

"Okay, well, I don't think you need to bring everyone into this." Maegor offered taking a step back.

"It's an everyone thing." Davina assured him. "Should we raven mother? Get her input?" Davina pondered. 

"Don't bring mother into this."  Maegor begged. "She will take your side without even knowing what you or I did." Maegor cleared his throat. 

"Maegor-"

"But I think for... well..." Maegor stumbled on his words. "For this matter at least... specific to you... which is totally..." Maegor wasn't going to win. He knew that now. "No, it's... You know what? You know what? Alright. Forget that. Sorry I said that." He waited a long moment, it would have been a millennia, roots and stems could have been growing up around his feet as he waited for her to answer him before a smile, not the kind that said everything was okay but the kind of smile that said war is coming and I don't like losing don't fucking question my sanity again or I bury you. That was what Maegor saw when he looked at his queen.
