"Well shit." Tyon declared as Robert couched and choked for breath. "What happened?"

"Out of the way boy." Selmy requested pushing past. 

"Hunting accident." Renly answered. "Have you seen the hand of the king?"

"Ned is with my mum." Nora agreed. 

"He's gonna die." Draco decided. 

"Always so optimistic." Davina agreed. 

"No, he's not being optimistic he is being pessimistic." Kelsea corrected. 

"No. I'm being optimistic." Draco assured. "He is going to die." Davina chuckled wrapping an arm around her little brothers shoulders. "What happens to us when Robert dies?"

"What do you mean?" Davina questioned. 

"What happens? He was the reason we hide." Draco remarked. Nora stared up at them curious now too. 

"He's not the only reason." Davina corrected kneeling before them. "You understand why we hide."

"Robert wants Targaryens dead." Nora whispered. 

"Yes and because our mothers brother... our uncle... that evil mad king made us look bad, people were scared of the power we could possess." Davina remarked. "So even when Robert dies we can't always know we are safe."

"What if I became king?" Draco questioned. 

"I'm older than you." Tyon countered. 

"And I'm handsomer." Draco countered. 

"Thats an incorrect statement." Tyon scoffed. 

"I would make a great king and Arya would love me even more."  Draco decided. Davina chuckled moving away from her siblings when she saw Jon. 

"Hey, are you in trouble? Did I get you in trouble? I'm so sorry-" Davina silenced him with a kiss. He melted into her. "Yes shut me up like that whenever you want."

"Ned Starks knows!" Cersei demanded.

"Close the door, this seems like a door closed conversation." Avalon offered.

"I wish we were home." Tywin grumbled.

"Ned Stark KNOWS!" Cersei repeated.

"We spoke, he remembered me from when he was younger, the tourney... the stupid tourney that started this mess." Avalon remarked. "Ned remembered me from that, told me at Winterfell but its okay, he isnt going to tell Robert-"

"Robert is going to die, Robert doesnt matter." Cersei corrected.

"What?" Tywin cut in.

"Hunt went wrong." Cersei offered with a shrug.

"Sorry for your loss," Avalon giggled out.

"But thats not what I'm talking about, I mean i was but- Mother. He. Knows." Avalon watched Cersei's hand touch her stomach and Avalon understood. Tywin liked to be ignorant, forced ignorance Avalon called it.

"Here I thought Ned was a smart man." Avalon remarked. What idiot tells someone they knew their secret? Ned Stark clearly had a death wish going up against Cersei. 

"I think we are going back to the rock soon." Davina remarked, draping her arms over Jon's shoulders he locked his hands around his waist. 

"Will your father lock me in a room every night and bar it from the outside if you convince him to let me come with?" Jon pondered. Davina laughed out but she could honestly picture her father doing just that. 

"Maybe." Davina admitted. "Would it be worth it?" 

"Totally worth it." Jon assured. "as long as you let me out in the morning so I can kiss you like this-" he leaned in but Nora barged in between them. 

"Not like that." Davina whispered. 

"I'm bored!" Nora declared staring up at them. "Come play with me!" 

"Where is Sandor?" Davina countered. "Play with sandor."

"He's training with Ty and Draco." Nora corrected. "Come on Davi play with me!" Nora begged. 

"Ghost could use a walk." Jon suggested. "We could play outside." 

"Thanks jon!" Nora agreed grabbing his hand and pulling him along. 

"Jon, you should show Father how you train." Davina suggested nodding to her father on the balcony.

"Really going to put me on the spot." Jon murmured. 

"Yep. come on, Sandor will go easy on you." Davina assured. 

"No he won't." Sandor corrected. Jon stepped forward as Nora ran around chasing after Ghost. 

"Trying to get him killed Davina?" Tywin called down. "Maybe you dont like him after all."

"I love him." Davina corrected. "And I'm confident in him." 

Jon smiled widely before grabbing his sword and holding it up, he faced sandor as he lifted his axe.

"Sandor!" Davina barked. He dropped his axe beside his foot and picked up a blade.

"You are no fun." Sandor corrected. 

"You got this!" Davina declared clapping out as the men stepped forward to duel. 

Davina flinched back as their swords smacked together, she was a fighter. She was good with a sword and a bow and arrow. She hit her target every time. But seeing Jon sparing against a man she knew to be a legend with a blade, made her nervous, this was a bad idea. A horrible idea. What was she thinking!

Jon yielded and Sandor smirked offering a hand. Jon gave it a shake. 

"You did good." Sandor assured. 

"Thank you." Jon answered before looking to Davina. 

"I'm so glad he didnt take your head off." Davina declared launching into his arms.
