❛ last time i was here , it wasn't really by choice . ❜ riley lowers her voice a bit , as if scared for anyone to hear , despite them being alone . ❛ my parents sent me here . ❜ they had been desperate , they said . they had no other options , for they had exhausted them all , and decided that shipping her off to another country would be their best and final effort . ❛ i didn't get to do much .. i was .. ❜ riley clears her throat , eyes glancing down at her hands , fingertips intertwining nervously . ❛ not well , but now .. ❜ riley tries to stray away from the grimy details , afraid to scare rhaenyra off . they are fascinating , someone she could easily find herself growing even closer to . ❛ so i wanted to come back on my own terms . and i think i'm really going to like it . ❜ a tiny smile peaks through , gaze lifting . ❛ because this time you're here . ❜

"a near quiet had settled within the princess' chambers - aside from the soft crackle of newly blossoming flame as it danced across the surface of freshly laid tinder, splitting wood as it went — rejuvenated by the kindling. she could hear the other moving behind her, deftly gathering ribbons and pins with which to bind her hair back properly, and placing them beside the silver backed hair brush set upon her vanity. rhaenyra stands in her dressing gown, her long, thick, silver-white hair loose, tumbling lightly down around the princess' shoulders and falling forward as she bends slightly to pick up the few rings that she had left out, and had only removed when she had retired for bed the previous eve. turning, she plucked a sapphire stone ring with a golden band and slid it onto her right ring finger before her eyes rose, and settled on the other. she was a vale woman, too. though she had been borne under the name stone. she had lived there for near the whole of her life, at runestone."

"I’m hungry, Riley, he wants to say. I’m hungry and I need you to feed me. But he doesn’t. He can’t. The implications are too horrifying. He is not a rabid animal, no matter how she found him. He’s still a person. He gets to choose. This impulse, this craving, can be managed, ignored. If it means hurting someone—hurting her—he’d rather starve. He’d rather eat raw meat off the kitchen floor in the middle of the night, knowing it will never satisfy him, not really."

when they're sleeping it's not just the way they're at rest . it's that they're at rest with you . it's not just that they're safe but that they feel safe enough to let you see them like this . it's trust and it's intimacy . and you're not sure you're ready for them to see the emotions in your eyes right now . they've been through enough . you both have . sometimes it scares you just how much you love them . it terrifies you that you feel happy as they lay there , eyes closed and hair a little messy . their features twitch and you know they're dreaming and it scares you because if you fall asleep too you won't have a nightmare tonight . you'll dream of them . or nothing at all . and either way it will make you need them more . and you're not supposed to need anyone but it's them . you want to hold them in your arms and never let go . you want to protect them but you know they want to protect you too . this is the kind of love you long for and it's the kind which will hurt if you lose it . but here you are anyway . it's too late now . you're glad it's too late to go back .

riley with her chin in her palms , listens closely , so very attentive . but the sound of rhaenyra's voice , accompanied with the story has her growing tired . but she doesn't dare show it , or at least she tries her hardest not to . leaving for bed would mean leaving rhaenyra's chambers and retiring to her own , all alone , and without the warm and soothing presence her queen provides . their time together , whether it's this or braiding her hair , is treasured and her favorite part of her days . it's what she thinks about before bed , and first thing in the morning too .

her head falls to the side once but riley catches herself , blinking wildly , praying rhaenyra didn't notice , but that's unlikely . ❛ just a moment more ? ❜ riley whispers , doe eyes pleading . just a sentence , no , a word is all - even a mere breath would suffice . ❛ i don't want it to end . ❜

[winterbeheaded]

she allows him to tighten his hold , and she does the same . ❛ you're not being a bitch . ❜ it's muttered into his chest , hands rubbing small circles into his back , an effort to further soothe . ❛ you've been so strong . ❜ and alone in his suffering for far too long . ❛ but you don't have to be strong around me . ❜ riley wants to take his pain and swallow it whole . ❛ we can stand here all night if that's what you need . ❜

          “Jesus Christ—”          He feels like he’s going to dissolve into a pathetic, emasculated mess of sobs. She’s being so sweet to him. She shouldn’t be so sweet to him. She should be running away from him as fast as she can, not once looking back.

But, then again, he wouldn’t trust himself not to chase her. There’s a strange instinct inside of him now, an almost canine urge to hunt down what flees. His stomach twists again; he hugs her even tighter.

          “I’m sorry. I’m sorry. This is—I’m being a bitch—”

[winterbeheaded]

his reassurance puts her at ease from years of valid but haunting warnings from many professionals . that death was never far behind . those comments linger still . ❛ i like the sound of that . ❜ he makes her want to live . ❛ you better not get sick of me ! ❜ riley winks .

          “We have plenty of time.”          A bright smile, though there’s a prickling unease beginning beneath his skin. Is there still a part of her that expects to die young?          “We have all the time in the world.”

He doesn’t like remembering that he met her at a hospital. He doesn’t like remembering the way she invoked the doctors like gods when she said she didn’t have much time left. She’s survived this long, so she can survive longer.

what's in riley's purse ? * ᵖᵉʳˢᵒⁿᵃˡˢ ᵈⁿⁱⁱ ⁎ ✧

[winterbeheaded]

riley has always known this was her fate . her time has always been limited , but she's been able to be apart of his life for far longer than expected , and for that she is grateful . she smiles back . ❛ we've actually had more time than i ever thought we would . ❜ a pause . ❛ i hope we get even more .. ❜

He looks up at her, smiles.         “I promise.”

It’s an easy promise to make. He never forgets anyone. He started taking losses early, people filtering in and out of his life at an absurd rate that has never quite slowed—so he makes sure to take notice, to soak up what he has while he has it. 

Mortality is often on his mind, too.
