Blood In the Godswoods

Fingertips

Daenerys POV  Dragonstone

I missed being back home, back at Dragonstone. We got back Yesterday in the morning, while we were gone to battle, I longed for home. Even the dragons were getting anxious being away, snapping at any inconvenience. That's why I brought them on an early flight this morning.

Then sun rising on the horizon looks beautiful from up here with the wind, in the clouds. The  smell of the sea, salt within the air fills me with contentment. "āeragon hēnka" (return home") all 3 decent back home. I lean on Maeker, giving her a slight hug, she purrs in content as she approaches land. I have a bond with all my children but Maeker is different, it's like we are one. I am her, she is me.

We land softly on land as Raelia and Drogon fly to their spot on the island close by. Maeker rumbles with a low growl getting my attention. I look ahead and see Robb standing in front of Maeker by the edge of the cliff, staring up at me. Warmth flows through me everyime those grey eyes look into mines deeply, never wavering. He makes me feel many emotions. They overwhelm me, time stops when his eyes find mine like he knows everything I'm thinking. In this short amount of time of meeting this Robb Stark, he made me feel and experience new feelings I've never felt before. He makes me feel seen, heard.

Suddenly Maeker slowly takes a step towards him, snapping us out of our trance. His eyes go wide and a look of panic crosses his face when Maeker takes another step closer lowing her neck. I look down at her curious confused as to why she's acting like this. "Lykiri Maeker. Lykiri" (Calm Maeker, Calm) she purrs inches away from Robb.

His arm slowly reaches out, so Maeker can smell him and see he's not an enemy. Maeker nudges into his hand allowing Robb to pet her, he runs his fingertips over her white scales. His eyes are full of awe, amazed looking into Maeker's violet eyes.

His hand falls to his side making Maeker huff in annoyance wanting him to keep caressing her. A small smile grace his face as he looks up at me 'he's so beautifully handsome'. Looking away from him, I climb down Maeker and walk over to Robb where he's still rubbing his hand along her nose. His hand falls limp when he notice me walking over.

I let my eyes wonder looking him up and down. Noticing he is quite toned, his muscles show through his tunic. Auburn curls flow with the breeze. He's so handsome in his war suit, so manly. The sound of him clearing his throat snaps me out of my day dream.

I look up at him and see his devilish smirk cross his face as he looks down at me. "How are you this morning, my Queen", his deep raspy voice come out so smooth it send shivers down my spine. My cheeks grow warm knowing he noticed me shamelessly devour him with my eyes.

A small smile grace my face as I nod lightly, loosing myself in his gray eyes. "Yes I'm doing well, thank you Robb." I cut my eyes from him to Maeker "It's weird how she lets you this close to here, she's a mean one sometimes. She must know something I don't." I say softly. My fingertips brush along her scales "Odd really" barely above a whisper.

My eyes find their way back to his gray ones already staring down at me. "Maeker must be a great judge of character." "She's beautiful" our eyes lost in each other as he spoke. It felt like a lifetime till his eyes leave mine, leaving a sense of emptiness I try to shake off. "Come, I have to talk to you all about something my Queen" he says softly.

As we walk towards the castle, no words are spoken, it's not awkward but rather a comfortable silence. Our fingertips lightly brush against each other when we walk. Shivers roll through me every time his fingertips touches mine.

We are approaching the castle when my Dothraki commander and a few other guards start approaching us. They stop in front of me "Ānhaan vekhatjin kāsh vekhat, Khaleesi." (This man says his is your friend, Khaleesi.) He moves to the side and appears Daario Nahris with his smirk I know too well walking up to me. Seeing him smirk doesn't compare to Robb's devils smirk that makes my legs go weak.

My eyes go wide filled with surprise "Daario what are you doing here" a small forced smile crosses my face when he walks closer, giving me a too friendly hug. Out the corner of my eye Robb tenses up, his eyes harden towards Daario. Pulling away feeling uncomfortable when his hands try to wonder.

Daario looks at me with his annoying smirk "I came to help you, your grace." giving him a tight smile I look up over to Robb noticing him still tense. "Robb Stark this is Daario Nahris, an old friend". Robb shifts on his feet looking Daario up and down like he's shit on the bottom of his boot. "Nice to meet you Daario Nahris" not as nicely as he probably intended.

Robb and Daario narrow their eyes slightly at each other "I heard about you Robb Stark, the young wolf" mocking him "The greatest swordsman of his time, we might have to spar one day." looking him up and down.

Unspoken tension fills the air between these too. I clear my throat getting their attention before one snaps. Looking at both of them "Enough." I snap "Come you two we have more important things to discuss" I look between them both as my eyes linger on Robb's silently telling him to follow close to me.  I turn away and began our walk to the castle. I hope he understands what I meant, I itch to be close to him after knowing how it feels to walk along side him.

When I didn't feel him brush against me for sometime, disappointment seeps in just before fingertips brush against mine as I walk. Warmth flood my cheeks, I shyly peak over and see Robb walking next to me looking straight with an almost not noticeable smirk. Looking down and I brush my fingertips against his interlacing my pinky with his as we walk up the stairs into the Castle.
