hand waves dismissively at the expression of gratitude and though her smile is small , it is genuine enough . the memories of similar times in her own youth coming to mind and flittering away all too quickly upon the breeze . her smile faltering at the mention of the gods . they had hindered her own chances of motherhood and how frequently had she cursed them for it ? if only they'd granted her what she so desperately desired , she may not have gone to such extreme lengths to secure progeny . though it could be countered that the gods had listened ; her eldest two , though not of her blood , had made her a mother and she loved them as only a mother could . yet greed coursed through her veins and like always , the dragon had craved more . the little rose put her to shame with her expression of contentment towards whichever fate the gods had spun for her . or at least she would have , had rhaenys the capability to feel shame . her smile returned , the shadow looming over them having passed . ❛ either way , i'm sure they will be fortunate to have you in their life . ❜ her sister would likely not have the pleasure of choice , there would be the expectation that she would add to the dynasty – such was their lot in life ; the heaviest burdens often falling upon the shoulders of the eldest , happily so , as long as the younger ones were spared . ❛ my cousin seems quite taken your sister , though i have yet to have the pleasure of her company myself . i pray wedding bells soon chime , i dare say the realm could do with a good wedding . ❜ at least one less problematic than the last .
gazed after the child with warm smile , catching the next they had gone to in a hurry to be certain of their safety . “ thank you , lady rhaenys . i remember when i could not keep up with all i picked and would be upset over it as well . ” she had not been able to cry lest she draw her mother's attentions , yet her septa would soothe her as she had the young one . smile pulls less genuine — thought of her future and what was to come of it a thought that rose had not enjoyed pondering as of late . betrothal unwanted , unsure of children , unsure of where she would be in near future should her mother get her way . contemplation of going to oldtown to join the citadel , earn way as a septon where she would , hopefully , be employed with dove when she had children . none the lofty dreams , interspersed with romance as alerie told tales of her dalliances and promises of her own that months before alyssa sighed over in the gardens that were not dotted with strange faces . “ i am unsure . if children are what the gods wish for me i would accept it happily , but if not , i would endeavor to be a good aunt to those that are born by way of my siblings . ”

the tears of a child reached her ears with at a displeasing pitch , or perhaps it was the tears themselves that shirked her maternalism . rhaenys was not a cruel woman , nor was hers a winters heart ; frozen , impenetrable , a desolate landscape of bleakness . yet neither was a child's tears welcome , not when they haunted her day and night , her spectres upon the sapphire isle . to steel herself against them was her only remedy , her only chance of survival . her heart could not take such agony . still , she bends to retrieve the fruit , if only to hasten her return to peace . the apple joins the others within the basket , the child's glee now evident and even rhaenys cannot hide her smile , no matter how small it may be . ❛ you have a way with children , lady alyssa . ❜ lilac optics are watchful over the child as they hurry away , eager to show their bounty to all who will spare them a moment . they turn to the young lady tyrell a moment later , her smile approving – of the affectionate display or her ability to quiet the squalls , remained a mystery . ❛ motherhood will suit you , if you desire it , though i would not fault you if you did not . ❜
seen the apples rolling upon the grass before the source , and stooped down to collect the spilled fruit . with the outside kitchens in full swing preparing treats for the guests there was expectation for something to go awry , yet as alyssa followed the trail to a crying child a rare smile unseen since first arrival of the court . “ here you go , sweetling . ” the ones she had picked up dropped gently into the basket in their arms before their gaze caught on another close to a body . ” excuse me — could you hand that to me , please ? ” finger pointed to the fruit at their feet .
