After leaving Viserys, Shoshanna returned to her chambers. Upon entering her room, her servant, Eva, was humming softly. "Hello, M'lady." She said.
"I have not heard you hum that in months, Eva." Shoshanna told her. She had not wanted to spend so much time with Viserys, but she became intrigued,
Shoshanna sat down at her vanity, reaching up to unpin her hair. Letting the curls fall loose, Eva came over. "He is a nice man." Eva commented softly, pulling the silver brush through Shoshanna's dark curls.
"Seems, Eva, He seems like a nice man." Shoshanna replied. "How can one know a person in a single day?"
Eva patted her shoulder. "Give him a chance, my child." She told her, "You could be happy with him."
"I am happy here." Shoshanna sighed and closed her eyes. She thought back to her conversations with the young King. A smile slowly appearing on her face.
Eva was too busy fussing with her hair to notice. "Shall I pin your hair, M'lady?"
She thought of the feast that a waited. She didn't want to be uncomfortable, but she knew her father would not approve. "No." She could feel Eva tense. "Eva, I am to be a Queen. Surely the women of Westeros do not pin their hair all of the time."
"I do not know, my child." Eva replied, continuing to brush her hair.
"He extended an invitation to Westeros." She told her.
"That was nice of him."
"I guess. He knows I do not want to marry him."
"My child, you did not say-"
"No, no, Eva. I did not express my feelings. He just knew and stated so."
"Oh. Will your father be joining you on your visit to Westeros?"
"I do not know. Will you?"
"Oh, dear child, I am sure King Viserys will have many maidens for you."
"They are not you."
"My home is here, dear child."
"I guess it would be selfish of me to take you."
"I have been with you for many years Since you came from your mother. You won't be needing me after you are wed."
Shoshanna turned around and took the older woman's hand, "I will have no one."
Eva tucked a strand of Shoshanna's dark curls behind her ear and kissed her forehead. "You fret, my child. You will have your husband and your children."
Children, that was something Shoshanna didn't think about much. Of course King Viserys wanted children, all kings wanted heirs. "What if the Gods do not favour children?" She wondered aloud.
"Shoshanna, dear child. Do not worry."
