ELIA HAD awoken before the sun rose, she waited in her chambers, tracing her hand along some cracks in the floor where she sat.
The moment the sun finally shined Elia made her way out of her chamber eagerly, heading straight for the courtyard to watch her brothers and aemond train.
🌘
The sound of chatter and swords clashing only quickened the young girls pace as she made her way towards where her brother's were training her smile never faltering.
When Ser Harwin noticed her he shook his head slightly, a smile threatening to play on his lips, "Princess.."
"Please can I stay and watch?" She begged, flashing him the biggest sad face she could, her hands clasped behind her back.
Ser Harwin shook his head once more, a small laugh slipping past his lips as he looked back over at Jace, "Very well then, princess" He spoke before his tone turning slightly serious as he gave Jace instructions.
Moments later Aemond had arrived, his face expressionless, his sword hanging by his side. He had looked as if he wanted to be anywhere but here, until he saw Elia anyhow. His mood lightened once he saw the smile on her face, his heart fluttering as he took her in.
"Feet light!" Cole instructed, looking down at the boy, pulling him from his small daze.
Aemond rolled his eyes, the fluttering feeling he had now gone, replaced with aggravation, the feeling only growing as he noticed Elias attention had been stolen by one of the bast- Velaryons. He hated that the laugh that slipped past her lips was for another, that somebody else had been making her happy. Aemond had never been once to care for such a thing, especially considering Jace was her half brother, but when it came to Elia? She was his.
His attacks on the dummy became more violent, he was actually trying. Imagining Jacaerys's face no doubt.
This however impressed Ser Criston, earning a nod and hum as he watched the young boy, "Very good" he praised before turning his attention towards Aegon who's stare had been on two Maidens walking by, a smirk on his face when he watched them scurry away from his gaze.
"You have a new opponent, let's see if you can touch me. You and your brother." Criston spoke up earning Aegons attention, watching as his face dropped before he acted unbothered as him and Aemond prepared.
Elias mouth had been slightly ajar as she watched how effortlessly Ser Criston was beating the boys. Sure he was older and had much more experience but woah.
