11. Absurdity

Dance Away my broken heart / Podrick Payne out now!!!

''Rhaenyra!" Aislynn looked to the king before side stepping away from Rhaenyra.

"Have fun. Thanks for the ride. If he doesnt kill you lets do that again." Aislynn offered before running out.

"Aislynn!" Alicent declared. "What happened! Where did you- you flew on that beast didnt you?" Alicent realized.

"Syrax is beautiful!" Aislynn declared. "That was such a high!"

"Father is going to kill you when he finds out." Alicent corrected.

"I saw him at dragonstone." Aislynn corrected. Alicents jaw dropped. "He was totally and completely fine with it." Aislynn remarked nonchalantly.

"Liar." Alicent corrected as she leaned into her elder sister.

"Not a lie and he was totally fine with it." Aislynn couldnt say it with a straight face, she was already laughing.

"Hello your grace." The girls echoed as Viserys approached them.

"Lady Aislynn..."

"Hello your grace I hope you were not too hard on Rhaenyra she is a lovely girl and just wanted to... help." AIslynn offered. "Also it was her idea I just went along for supervision."

"She said not to blame you. It was her idea." Viserys assured.

"Whoo." Aislynn declared. "Thats good to hear.... but shes okay? You are two are okay, right?"

"Yes. Thank you." Viserys agreed looking between the sisters.

"Goodnight your grace." Aislynn coed pulling ALicent along. "What was that look?" Aislynn whispered.

"What look?" Alicent countered.

"Stop picking at your nails. Whats wrong?" Aislynn questioned.

"Nothing. Everything. Lynnie I'm just... it's everything. I love you and never want you to leave." Alicent begged.

"Never I'm right here." Aislynn assured her. "But I do have to check on Ty, because I left him with the children unsupervised." WHen Aislynn got home Tyland was passed out on the couch while the boys were wide awake, things were thrown every which way and poor Tyland... Aislynn chuckled softly as she picked up Tobias putting him in his crib with a kiss. 

"Titus, go potty before bed." 

"Story?" Titus countered. 

"Potty, bed and then a story." Aislynn agreed, he ran off. Aislynn moved back to Tyland kissing him awake. "Hi honey, you want to make it to the bed?" Tyland opened his eyes with a heavy sigh. 

"Bed." Tyland agreed. "Aislynn you rode a dragon, you're not dead right?" 

"I'm right here, it was so much fun, time of my life." Aislynn assured pulling him to his feet. 

"I..." Tyland looked around. "I lost the kids." He realized. 

"I got them, Finn was already in bed. But..." Aislynn looked around. "THis looks like a leave it for tomorrow mess and hope my father can't handle the mess and cleans it up himself task." 

"I like that idea." Tyland remarked. 

"I'm ready!" Titus called out from his shared room with Tobias. 

"Story time, come on Ty, let me sing you to sleep."

"Why are you wearing that?" Aislynn questioned.

"I like it." ALicent offered.

"You look uncomfortable." Aislynn corrected.

"No I dont." ALicnt offered.

"Yes you do." Aislynn corrected. "It wasnt a question sweetie but a statement. You look uncomfortable."

"Once this is done I will be feeling better, I know how much Rhaenyra was... anxious about it." Alicent offered.

"Laena, the poor girl. Viserys is a man. A grown ass man and Laena probably hasnt flowered yet and yet she will be wed..." Aislynn groaned out. "Its disgusting really."

"Tis the position we are in." ALicent remarked. 

"I chose Ty," Aislynn remarked. "You will get a choice too when you are older." Aislynn informed her. Alicent swallowed the lump in her throat. 

"The king... he's not... awful." Alicent offered.

"I'm sure he is very kind. But I wouldnt want to fuck him." Aislynn declared.

"AISLYNN!" Alicent declared laughing out as Aislynn fixed her hair.

"Come on, you look perfect to congratulate the little Velaryon cutie on the death of her happiness." Aislynn assured. "Father, handsome as always, why that face?"

"What face?" Otto countered as they walked.

"The smug I'm about to get everything I wanted look." Aislynn remarked. Tyland looked to Otto again and he did hold a certain I'm about to win smugness to his features. 

"I dont have a clue what you mean Aislynn." Otto corrected. "Come on." Aislynn stood beside Alicent bumping her hip into Alicent occasionally as she grew bored easily waiting. Tyland wrapped his arms around her thinking about what it would be like to be apart of the small council, Aislynn wanted that for him. Tyland was very much like her own father ambition wise, maybe that was one of the things that drew Aislynn to Tyland. 

"What's going to be like to call a younger girl mother?" Aislynn pondered and Rhaenyra's gaze shifted up to her. "I would hate it." Aislynn offered.

"I dont like it." Rhaenyra admitted. "Will you stay around? Make the transition easier?"

"Of course! Until I grow bored of the capital, I'm already bored just so you know." Aislynn mused. "But if you ever get on the council, we will stay," Aislynn added turning her head and kissing Tylands cheek. "When." She corrected. "When you get on the council." She purred. His smile widened.  Aislynn hugged an anxious Alicent to her as the king came in he held a smile on his face.

"Someone is excited to fuck a child." Aislynn mused and Alicent stared nervously at her feet. 

"Aislynn," Tyland whispered against her neck. 

'Good morrow, my lords." Viserys said as he approached his council. "I have decided to take a new wife. I intend to marry..." Viserys looked around the council. "the Lady Alicent Hightower before spring's end." Aislynns jaw dropped as Alicent picked at her nails more viciously.

"This is an absurdity. My house is Valyrian, the greatest power in the realm." Corlys exclaimed.

"This is an absurdity." Aislynn agreed.

"And I am your King." Viserys corrected. He stared back at his daughter. "Rhaenyra." He called out but she stormed out as well. The door slammed closed behind her. Aislynn looked to her father the smug smile on his face before she grabbed Alicent's hand leading her away.
