The Man // Khal Drogo (1)

16. Untouchable

Oceana heard whispers on sanrogues third name day of another queen another khaleesi. She didn't understand they spoke in hushed voices and silenced when she came around.

"Cohollo."

"Khaleesi." He answered.

*What's going on? *

*What do you mean khaleesi? *

*Something feels... off.* she answered slowly

*I would not worry, my queen .* If he said not to worry that should have eased her worries because he was drogos right hand man and unlike the other men in the khalassar cohollo trusted oceana and valued her as a person not just a baby maker.

*I hear them talk whisper.* oceana admitted hating her insecurities.

*About ?*

What would she even say? Whispers from another land about a woman a house she thought had went extinct.., cohollo waited patiently for her to speak. She forced a smile

*you are Right I'm overthinking things .* oceana agreed. She was being paranoid. Some of the men still didn't think of her as they're queen as they're King's wife. They still thought of her as an outsider. It Didn't matter that she did their stupid rituals or wore their uncomfortable clothes and birthed the golden stallion into the world.

She wasn't one to sit back and submit. She wore her hair in braids. She didn't like to be explicit with her husband in front of others. And she was raising her son to know common tongue. That was a big distaste among the people but he shouldn't be subjected and limited to only knowing how to communicate with the khalassar.

There were many reasons why the people considered her an outsider a foreigner - ifak- because she was. She once was. But that was forever ago now. She wondered if she would be an outsider forever. But when she was alone with her son and her husband, she didn't feel like an outsider. She felt cherished.

Oceanas smile brightened when she saw San and Drogo coming back from a ride. San slapped at the reigns calling out for mama.

"Mama look. " san declared.

"I see. I see you baby." Oceana agreed. drogo jumped down san wiggled from his arms and waddled to oceana. *did you have fun with daddy?* drogo nodded happy she switched back to dorthraki. While oceana had to learn his tongue he didnt have to learn hers. He knew some. But not nearly enough to hold a conversation. Oceana didnt mind. She understood. Men- These men in particular were set in their ways.

"So fun!" He agreed reaching up for her.

Oceana wanted san to have a dog. She grew up with hounds but knew that a dog would surely get eaten here among these savages. She wasnt to proud to admit she was surrounded by savages and a leader of them as well. But they didnt listen to her so maybe that was why she deemed them what the world did.

"And my husband?" Oceana pondered as he lept down from his stallion enveloping her i. His embrace. She felt so safe in his arms. Like they were untouchable.

No matter what the world threw at her, no matter how the men treated her or diminished her worth their little trio was untouchable   She knew that with complete certainty when he held her.

He told her he was going on a hunt soon. That's what he liked to call it when they went and ran sacked villages he knew she didn't approve but that was how they got supplies. Food. Food. Glorious food that wasnt stallation. She really did like food. So she put up with their ran sacking for the chance at a decent meal every now and again. She assumed the people were used to it. By now they saw the wild horses approach and they knew they were screwed.

She knew that when he left the rest of the khalassar spoke harshly about her. Saying she wasnt a real queen. But she pushed that thought from her mind. Right now with drogo. She was untouchable.
