69 - Satisfaction and Pleasure

*NSFW*

As Alia's eyes glanced around the yard once she left the main hall, her eyes had landed on a familiar face, her lips widening into a smile before she graciously jogs over to the man, engulfing her father in a hug.

Davos' hand rested on the back of Alia's head, the stubs of his missing fingers caressing her hair gently as he held his daughter, clearly missing her. "Oh I am so happy to see you Alia." He breathed as they both pulled away from one another, Davos resting his hands on her shoulders as he looked at her, both of them being the same height near enough.

"As am I father, I hope your trip was safe?" She questioned, linking arms with the man as they walked around the yard, inspecting the fine work that the Blacksmiths were doing with the Dragonglass they had been given from a cave in Dragonstone.

Before Davos could answer, she feels a tap on her shoulder making her stop and turn around to meet Gendry who had a smile on his face.

"Alianora, it's good to see you again. I have a something for you." Alia watched as Gendry stepped inside the Blacksmiths, the sound of clanging and steam hissing flowing in the cold air. When he returned, he presented her two long swords of Dragonglass as well as a quiver of arrows with the heads made from the black material.

"Oh wow, thank you Gendry. I was just going to grab one you had made for the rest of the soldiers. I wasn't expecting you to forge two especially for me?" She asked confused yet grateful as she swung the two blades in her hands effortlessly the weapons not being too heavy or too light. She even smiled when she saw 'AS' carved on both of the pommels, indicating her first and last name.

"Aye it was a pleasure to do them. It wasn't me who decided to do it, The Hound had put in a request for me to do them."

Alia's head snaps up to meet Gendry once more after hearing his name, a strange sensation fluttering around inside her stomach. She bit on her lower lip to stop her from smiling like a fool so instead she nodded appreciatively towards Gendry and allowed him to get back to his work.

Davos gazed at his daughter, a warm feeling for him to see her so happy once more with the gifts she was gifted. He felt even warmer when he noticed the white silk ribbon wrapped around her wrist, spotless from any dirt or blood that she may have gotten on her from her travels. "Never thought that man would be able to do something so kind."

"Oh he really is sometimes." She swooned as she thought of him, placing the swords on her back as well as the quiver of arrows. Davos chuckled but nodded ahead of him when he spots the large man from across the yard going inside of Winterfell, a large battle-axe in his grasp.

When Alia spots him too, she quickly dashed after him, Davos telling her that it was okay to leave him be and to follow him and so she did.

She weaved in and out of people, having lost track of him making her frown slightly, rubbing the back of her head as she spun in a circle slowly, trying to make heads or tails of where he had gotten off to. In fact, she found it unusual for a man of his size to even disappear in the first place.

She leaned her back against a wall, nodding at those who greeted her as they passed her by. She played with the ribbon on her wrist, thinking of her brother who she had recently lost, her heart still aching from the pain of her loss. She sighed slightly and pushed herself from the wall and made her through the many corridors but stopping when she saw a small figure from the end of the hall. "Alia?"
