"You know, it's quite peaceful without a certain person around" the girl sighed while laying back against the tree "Zaephyira! You can't say that, he's still your father" her cousin reprimanded her
"Who said I'm talking about my father?!?? I was talking about Jesper, he's heard literally every fucking where" the Velaryon glared at her cousin Theodosia "oh that's a different story" the girl chuckled lightly
"Even if I was talking about him, I think we can all agree that it's deserved. He was shitty and that is putting it lightly to begin with" Zaephyira stated with an eye roll "but well.." Theodosia started but not fully finishing "don't even start for gods sake" Phyira warned the other
"Anyways" the Velaryon started before sighing thinking of the topic she'll start "how are the proposals going, anyone in mind?" She looked to her side to see her cousin in thought "well there's been talks about Ichaebod Sparrow, Jojen Bolton, Tristan Cole, Sigurd, Thraein and Hvitserk Targaryen" Theodosia stated her list of suitors
"Anyone specific you like?" The younger girl continued her questions "I don't mind Sigurd and Hvitserk as I'm the most familiar with the two of them, and it's not like I have anything against the others it's just that I know them best" Sia rambled "there's nothing wrong with wanting familiarity" the Velaryon smirked
"Enough about me what about you?" The cousin eagerly chirped out "what about me? Ah omg you want to marry me off already, I'm too younggg" Zaephyira replied in all her dramatics, fanning her face with one hand while the other was placed on her forehead as she leaned back
"Oh cut it out you bastard" Theodosia laughed as she elbowed Zaephyira on the back "I'm legitimate" Zaephyira puffed out before putting her nose up and pouting "I don't know you look too much like a Targaryen, sure you're not someone else's spawn" Thea just muttered out
"Excuse you" the girl glared "my mother may have not fully and truly loved my father but she would never be unfaithful, on the other hand we should ask her" Zaephyira continued "you defend your mother just to end up accusing her of the opposite!" Theodosia retorted in disbelief before being unable to hold it in and bursting out laughing followed by the Velaryon girl doing the same

"If I had a coin for every time someone mentioned my nonexistent marriage to me I would have FIVE, which is maddening" Zaephyira moved her arms around in frustration "at least you're not betrothed, like our cousins" Jesper snorted
"Well most of them are betrothed to each other and they actually love one another" Jaecynta said "I do believe that most of the betrothals even happened because they wanted to be together" Aurora pipped up
"Yes like Kaz and Inej" Visaemion said
"Enola and Viscount" Jesper mentioned "Carina and Henry" Zaephyira brought up the two ""Oh Legolas and Ealasaid are married" Cirilla joined in "I was hearing talk about Raelarr and Hyacinth" Aurora chimed in "anyone else?" Jaecynta asked
"Not sure, nobody is coming to mind anymore" Jesper replied "OH JACAERYS AND BAELA" Phyira and Ciri yelled out "oh gods you're right, and they're right under our noses how did that slip our mind" Aurora was baffled indeed
"I have a question" Cirilla quietly voiced herself "everything alright Lila?" Visaemion asked the youngest concerned while the other siblings intendedly looked at the two
"Now that father's gone, how do we proceed? What happens? Does mother remarry?" She voiced her concern "Cirilla father hasn't even had a funeral yet what are we talking about" Jaecynta replied
"The man's body is not even cold yet cmon" Zaephyira added "he should hurry it up" she continued to which her sister Aurora gasped while Jaecynta laughed "I have no problem against it but I don't think you should be saying that around others" Ciri chuckled while the brothers were busy trying not to spit the ale out of their mouths
"Really hoping mother remarries, it's not like she's old. She's still young, beautiful, healthy and happy, what else would you need?" Zaephyira stated her opinion "oh and this time someone she chose by herself to love" Aurora added
"yes great statements, I would like to drink to that" the oldest Visaemion spoke up with his cup filled and his arm stretched out, Jesper doing the same while the sisters hurried to grab their cups. They drank to their mother's well-being and happiness together

Zaephyira was laying in bed of Cirilla's chambers, laying next to her being Ciri. "Who would I marry?" "How many children should I have?" Cirilla questioned "for fucks sake Cirilla, it's night and you're to young for that anyway just shush and sleep" Zaephyira turned around to glare at her younger sister
"What?! I'm just questioning, in this world there isn't much for us to do" Ciri responded "just run away to Essos or something, become a knight, serve the king. I don't know" the older Velaryon opted "what would I even do in Essos?" The younger one asked
"Sell oranges, now sleep" with that the older girl turned onto her back and closed her eyes "Phyira, could you sing me a song?" Ciri quietly asked to which Zaephyira hummed as a reply, with High Valyrian flowing soothingly from her mouth
"Drakari pykiros
Tikummo jemiros
Yn lantyz bartossa
Saelot vãedis
Hen ñuha eleni.:
Perzyssy vestretis
Se gelyn irüdaks
Ânogrose
Perzvro udryssi
Ezimptos laehossi
Harossa letagon
Aôt vaedan
Hae mèrot gierüli:
Se haros bartossi
Prûmusa sovili
Gevi däeri"
As Zaephyira finished singing she turned to look at her younger sister, who was already fast asleep from the soft melody that her older sister provided.
