OLDTOWN || 124 AC
—
𝖂hen arriving back at Oldtown Daena expected her husband to still be out as he usually would be, but surprisingly Gwayne was already home for supper stopping himself from eating when he heard his wife and children entering the dining room. A smile that lit up his whole face when all three of his children ran into his open arms making them all tumble backward at the force, something in his heart made him smile even more than he was feeling the warmth of his children against him. Baelon, his oldest, wrapped his small arms tightly around his father's neck, his young face serious beyond his years. Beside him, the twins, Elaeys and Alerae, giggled as they squirmed into his embrace, their slightly identical faces alight with joy. Gwayne's heart swelled with a mix of pride and protectiveness as he held them close, knowing that these fleeting moments of peace were treasures in a world filled with uncertainty. He whispered words of love and reassurance, vowing to protect them no matter what lay ahead. Daena chuckled as she stood at the doorway as she watched her children play around with their father.
Gwayne looked back at his wife who stood alone with her arms crossed and a smile plastered on her lips, Gwayne asked his children to go back to their own rooms for the moment so he could catch up with their mother. Baelon, Elaeys, and Alera didn't hesitate and obeyed their father's order and left their parents alone in the dimly lit dining hall. Gwayne stood up from the floor, brushing the dust off his trousers before walking up to Daena and placing a gentle kiss on the side of her mouth, "My Princess," he greeted, placing his hands on Daena's hips and smirked at her instant reaction to wrapping her cool hands around his neck, "How was your trip?" Daena did everything but look into her husband's eyes, she loved to tease him by avoiding eye contact which she discovered the first time they met that he couldn't help but have the need to look into her eyes.
Daena only hummed in thought, as she tried to think of something to tell Gwayne, "It was well, but would have been better if you were with us," he sighed in disappointment, Gwayne never liked to upset Daena but for reasons beyond that Daena knew and understood why, "But, Rhaenyra has given birth to another boy, Joffrey is his name. Another nephew," Gwayne hummed back in response, "Baelon and the twins have tamed their dragons, almost, Alerae is still getting used to how big Windscreamer has grown," again another hum in response making Daena look up at her husband, "Are you even listening to what I am saying?" she placed her hands on his chest slightly pushing him away to look at him better.
"I am waiting for you to tell me something interesting," he complained, making Daena scoff in annoyance. Gwayne only chuckled at her reaction pulling her closer to him and tightening his grip on her hips, "Tell me something interesting," he whispered before ducking his head to place a kiss on Daena's collarbone slowly making his way up her neck.
