leofric had never been to casterly rock. he would say the wretched place made his palms sweat, were it not readily explained by the two small hands gripping his like a vice. robert, on his left, protected on his flank by his advisor harkin, blessedly stayed quiet. he was an intelligent boy, and took great pleasure in examining the world hungrily.
dyana was his mirror, for better or for worse. she was yanking his right hand like she would rip it from his body and run off with it in tow. unshakingly, the same questions left her lips over and over since they've left golden tooth. is mother near? we're going to find mother, aren't we?
and leofric had found mother. a smile on her face and sweat binding her hair to her skin, his wife stood proud in a crowd he'd immediately been nervous to cross with both of his children. " harkin. " his voice left a bit colder than he meant. " find where the lady is staying and take the children there, please. " robert dutifully took his advisor's hand, and after some fighting dyana had gone as well. with only himself in danger, leofric would gladly throw himself to any wolf.
still, he stood a healthy distance from her and waited to catch her eye. his breath hitched, and sweat nearly boiled off his skin. leo coughed in a forcible excision of his own thoughts. in the months since he's seen her, she'd gained back some color from the deep winter. he'd swear on the seven, if it came to it, that argella baratheon held no power over him. it'd be a lie, it'd be the first lie he ever told, but he'd swear to it. finding his balance, he bowed. " i hear congratulations are in order, my lady. "
