Rich Man / Tyland Lannister / Aislynn Hightower

7. I Like Her Wild

SUNCHOKE / ARYA STARK out now!

"Got a raven from grandpa," Aislynn coed down to her son. "The heirs tourney is... Tyland?" His chin dropped to his chest and popped back up. Eyes dazed staring back at her. Aislynn cocked her head at him. 

"What?" Tyland rasped slapping his lips. 

"Take a real nap Tyland, I won't think less of you." Aislynn assured reaching out for him. He tipped over laying his head in her lap.  "We are heading down to the capital though love." Aislynn coed running her nails through his hair. He nodded along nuzzling his face into the crease of her hip.  "You can sleep on the way there. I got Finn and the boys." She assured. Tyland nodded breathing her in, his hands wrapped around her hips. Aislynn traced her fingers through his golden hair. "Finn, can you tell the henchmen we need a carriage prepared?" 

"Yes mum," Finn agreed. Titus went to crawl after him but Aislynn stuck a foot out veering his attention. 

"Come here baby," Aislynn coed. Titus pulled himself to his feet and wobbled over to her. "My baby, look at you walking like a big kid." Titus nodded as if to say, yep, I'm a big kid. Aislynn carefully moved around Tyland's sleeping form and reached for Titus picking him up. "You want to visit grandsire? Go on a trip?"

"I'm not late don't give me that look." Aislynn corrected as she sat down next to her younger sister, Alicent.

"Aislynn I didn't think you were coming." Alicent remarked hugging her.

"Of course, Ty-" Aislynn turned around. "Ty? I lost him from the carriage to the viewing box apparently." Aislynn remarked. "But anyways, Tommy is going to whip these knight asses." Aislynn assured and Otto groaned. "Love you too pops!" Aislynn called back shooting him a smile over her shoulder. Otto ran a hand over his forehead in annoyance. "Stop frowning father you don't need the worry lines."

"Aislynn, Aislynn, Aislynn." Otto begged.

"That's my name don't wear it out." She agreed. "So where is your bestie?" Aislynn questioned. Alicent picked up Tobias, he waved back at her, looking between Aislynn and Alicent. 

"Running late, as always.' Alicent agreed. "Lynnie I'm really glad you are here."

"Anything for you." Aislynn assured as Viserys stood up. "Titus you see the horses?" He moved to the bars of the viewing box and pointed at the horses, the knights would be riding on. 'Look at them all decorated too." Aislynn remarked. Titus nodded turning back to her, he pulled on her dress hoisting himself back into her lap. 

'Be welcome! I know many of you have traveled long leagues to be at these games. But I promise, you will not be disappointed. When I look at the fine knights in these lists, I see a group without equal in our histories. And this great day has been made more auspicious by the news... that I am happy to share Queen Aemma has begun her labors!' Viserys declared and the stadium erupted in cheers and applause.

"If Tyland ever did something like that-" Aislynn waved a dismissive hand back at Viserys. "I would castrate him." 

"He knows that too." Alicent agreed with a little laugh. 

"He does." Aislynn agreed as Rhaenyra tried to sneak by. "Hey pretty missing the big shindig." Aislynn remarked.

"Hello Aislynn." Rhaenyra remarked plopping down.

'May the luck of the Seven shine upon all combatants!' They continued to cheer, the horses neighing, galloping into position.

'A mystery knight?' Rhaenyra questioned her guard, ser Harrold.
