"How could someone have snuck in our chambers? Past our guards?" Robb asked as Rhaenyra shrugged. She was sitting in the center of their bed while watching Robb pace, Grey Wind laying in front of her as she had the eggs between them. The need to stare at the eggs has been growing and growing so she had them out.
"We already know how, Lannisters paid them. Who else wants me gone?" she asked as he froze.
"You think the Queen did this?" he asked.
"I will always be a threat to her children, any children I have could take back the throne," she shrugged as Robb stalked up to her.
"Why are you so calm?" he asked desperate as she sighed.
"Because there is nothing I can do, no proof. But I will be extra careful alright?" she asked as he sighed. "Put a guard with me then," she demanded as he nodded.
"Carry the knife Uncle gave you, I know you know how to use it," he ordered as she nodded and pressed a kiss to his lips as he held her close, Grey Wind curled around the eggs.
The next day Rhaenyra decided to stay in the library with the eggs as a guard stayed near the outside, she was reading a few books before the guard called to her. "A message, My Lady," he spoke quietly as he received a praising look from the elder librarian. She liked it when people respected the quietness in the building.
"Thank you," she whispered back. Taking the parchment she unrolled it to see it from her Uncle Aemon answering her. Her eyes widened at reading before freezing when she heard screams from the horses. Carefully she put the note down in the book she had been reading before retrieving her egg filled bag, she had a bad feeling and wanted to go check on Corlys. Maybe she might go into the Godswood to pray with the eggs, might put her at ease. "Michalla, can you hold these books please?" Rhaenyra asked as the woman nodded with a bright smile.
"Of course My Lady," she agreed as the younger left, clutching her bag while leaving the library.
"Are there any other things to do My Lady?" the guard asked as he quickly joined her.
"No, you may go and break your fast. I was actually going to try and see if Robb will break away for a few moments," she admitted making him chuckle.
"Alright," he left before walking away as Rhaenyra smiled before going into the castle. She made sure her stones didn't smack against the other to make sound, she thought they'd be heavy but they were easy to bring around. Rhaenyra had a knife hidden in her sleeve just in case, but as she looked around she assumed he was in his office as his mother was still with Bran. Rickon was with Valeana and Maester Luwin, Valaena was their best offer for the sullen child who was so close to his mother. She allowed her fingers to drift over the scales as she entered the office to see Robb pouring over files and papers across the desk.
"Think I can steal you away for a few minutes?" she grinned as he looked up. A smile slid across his face when he saw his wife who smiled and leaned against the frame.
"I think you can, what are you doing?" he asked curiously while Rhaenyra smirked.
"I was bored and my things are done for the day. I was going to go pray in the Godswood. I wondered if you wanted to join," Rhaenyra wanted to help her husband relax and with the recent break in he worried for her safety.
"Of course," he smiled as she grinned. "Let me finish these and I will join in the stables," Robb decided as she nodded and came to her husband before pressing a kiss to him.
"I will have Karn saddled," she agreed he grinned and watched her leave and noticed her pack, he knew what was in there.
IV
Giggles left the girl as she guided Corlys through as Robb and Karn trotted along. He'd chuckle as their stories made them laugh, they were talking about Jon and Theon taking forever to become friends. Grey Wind ran a head as they laughed, Robb noticed the pack on the side of Corlys' saddle.
"Don't ask," Rhaenyra spoke suddenly surprising him, he hadn't realized he was caught. "I just-" she paused, gently patting the mare's neck as she huffed. "I wanted to bring them, for no reason I guess," she realized as he laughed.
"That's fine Rhae. You wanted them out, they're out," he smiled as she hummed softly until they came across the Weirwood tree. She didn't understand why Robb was being so open and easy about her carrying her dragon eggs around. Only few knew she was; Robb, Maester Luwin, Baela and Valaena. Robb and Baela just shrugged it off, not finding a problem with that, but Maester Luwin and Valaena thought it dangerous if someone were to try and rob her. But with a guard always with her it wasn't going to be easy to try that, Rhaenyra thought could protect herself with a dagger. Robb knew his ease was driving his wife crazy and liked that as he could mess with her mind usually. He knew the eggs brought her comfort just like Baela knew, hell she admitted to him when Rhaenyra was helping with Rickon.
"You drive me crazy," she growled, urging her horse on as he followed with a laugh. They were closer now and Grey Wind was laying, panting happily, Robb was off and helping an irritated Rhaenyra down. "I can get down on my own, you know?" she asked brow raising as he smirked.
"I know. But I'm still your husband so I can help you all I like," he snuck a quick kiss before darting around Corlys' head as the mare shook her head. Rhaenyra pursed her lips as she hissed softly before starting to undo the blanket they could sit on while he grabbed his pack and then hers before realizing it was the egg pack as it weighed his arm down a bit, "You carry these like they weigh nothing!" he protested as she giggled.
"Of course they are heavy, Robb. They're stone eggs," she brought up as she lifted the bag a little easier. "I've weighed these eggs all my life, I guess I just got used to it," she smirked as he smiled back.
"I remember, you usually had the chest closed but the few times we remember seeing it open they were always greyish," Robb commented as they sat on the blanket when she pulled the eggs out, Robb had long noticed they were darker in color. It was true, as a precaution she always had the eggs closed up, but the few times the boys were playing games with her, Baela and Valaena in her chambers the chest was open it always drew their attention. Theon even once asked if they could look at them, Valaena had retrieved them so the boys could look. The two girls had always sat in Rhaenyra's chambers to stare at the eggs of their history, but the boys always looked so surprised and curious, Jon once picked the blue-silver up and claimed it was cold and rock hard. But Rhaenyra thought that was confusing as she didn't feel that with them.
"I know, even your father has commented on their shade when he saw them," Rhaenyra smirked as he gently rolled one to see the blue one. "That's the one that was the color," Rhaenyra admitted staring at the egg her husband was feeling.
"Right," Robb frowned, knowing his wife freaked out about her dreams the most. He's been trying to tell her it was fine, some dreams meant nothing at times, but she knows in her families they usually mean more. He looked up to see her softly running her fingers over the other two eggs, gently he removed the eggs from the blanket and into their bag before bringing her in to kiss her softly. Rhaenyra smiled softly and kissed back, he slowly brought her closer as she gave a silent prayer to their gods.
IV
Rhaenyra smiled softly as she continued to walk through Winterfell, she couldn't help it. She just kept smiling and it was driving her crazy when she tried to think why.
"Someone looks like they're in love," a voice sang as she looked to see Ros smirking as she was shopping about.
"Hello Ros, how are the girls?" Rhaenyra asked as the woman shrugged.
"Well enough. But like I said, your a grinning fool," the whore smirked as her lady grinned softly.
"Maybe I am," she fought back when Ros chuckled before frowning gently as she stared at her white haired lady. "What? What is it?" Rhaenyra asked frowning herself as the woman gently came closer. The woman smiled softly before shaking her head.
"I'm sure it's nothing," Ros claimed as the Targaryen woman kept her frown. "I must be on my way, My Lady," she quickly left with her purchases.
"My Lady," a voice made her turn to see Maester Luwin coming to her.
"Yes Maester Luwin?" she asked as he stopped.
"Is everything alright?" he asked as she frowned once more.
"Why is everyone asking me that?" Rhaenyra asked, truly irritated at the same question.
"Come with me child," he urged as she followed. The walk to the Maester's chambers was silent as she continued to think about everything.
"Maester Luwin what is going on?" Rhaenyra asked curiously as they entered his chambers when he opened them. Carefully sitting the bag down she sat where he pointed which was a table.
"You have been running around quite a bit. And during our sessions you don't talk as much," he frowned as she looked to him.
"It's nothing really," she smiled making him shake his head.
"Answer the question girl," he demanded losing all formalities for the health of a girl he helped raise. Rhaenyra lifted her head to look at him, tears starting to brim her eyes.
"I feel I'm going crazy with my dreams. A uh, week ago I dreamed of Essos again, a girl like me surrounded by horses and when Bran fell that night I dreamed of a blue dragon destroying Winterfell," Rhaenyra frowned to Maester Luwin who paused.
"But there has never been an attack on Winterfell by dragons and there will never be," he frowned as she looked down at her pack.
"I know," she nodded.
"Have you been feeling well lately?" he asked as Rhaenyra shrugged. "Baela has informed me that she has not come to receive your moon clothes, My Lady," Maester Luwin personally handled Rhaenyra's health because someone had tried to poison her when she was young and had flowered. Many rejoiced because Robb and Rhaenyra would marry but a few didn't like it. When Rhaenyra had started and Valaena had been retrieving the cloth she kept in her chambers she remembered it had an odor coming from it. Maester Luwin claimed it was some poison that would've gotten through her system to kill her, so Ned ordered for things dealing with that were to be handled by Maester Luwin and her handmaidens, the elder happily agreed to it all.
When Maester Luwin told Rhaenyra that she frowned and lifted her head softly, curiously she tried to think of her internal days before realizing she must've missed the day or not realized.
"Do you think?" she asked confused.
"Maybe. Maybe your dreams are trying to settle like your body. We will just see," he murmured before she frowned, looking away. She hasn't even given it a thought lately, not knowing why as she has not been doing anything.
IV
Hours later Rhaenyra was seen walking with Robb to Bran's chambers, keeping her pack to her side as her husband came in overhearing Maester Luwin talk with Catelyn. "We'll look at the accounts," Robb spoke up as they entered. "We'll talking about first thing in the morning."
"Very good My Lord, My Lady," he nodded. Rhaenyra knew next to nothing about accounts but still offered to help out, knowing she'd need to learn. The young woman entered and greeted the woman softly.
"Hello Cat," she spoke softly and looked to Bran. She shifted her bag and walked to the open window to look out as Robb looked to his mother.
"When was the last time you left this room?" Robb asked as he caressed his brother's hand softly.
"I have to be here. I have to take care of him," Catelyn teary said as she worked on her prayer wheel.
"But he won't die Cat, Maester Luwin said-" the woman cut her ward off.
"He might be wrong! Bran needs me," she countered.
"Rickon needs you," Robb interrupted, knowing his wife was just trying to help. "He's six. He follows Rhae and I around all day clutching my leg, her hand. Mother it took us over an hour to get him to sleep the other nigh-" Catelyn's frantic cries cut him off.
"Close the window! I can't stand them, make them stop," she cried out over the howls of the hounds. Rhaenyra who was closer turned to do so before pausing with a wide-eyed look.
"Rhae?" Robb asked worried as he raced around. "Fire," he announced making the redhead look up alarmed. "You stay here, we'll be back," Robb ordered as he and Rhaenyra ran out. Both had gone to the courtyard.
"What happened?" Rhaenyra asked as a guard passed by.
"Wagon of hay caught fire," he claimed making them tense, the horses screaming from the stable the building right next. She ran inside as Robb yelled to others, she noticed smoke slowly seeping close to the stable.
"Shh, shh," she soothed some of the animals who calmed at seeing a familiar face. Rhaenyra didn't mind coming to see the animals and mostly bonded with hers but they knew her too. Corlys stuck her head out and tugged on her owner's top, Rhaenyra scratched her forehead to try and calm her, so far everything was good, no fire so the horses were safe.
Rhaenyra jumped when she whirled around when she had stroked her husband's horse. A woman stood there with a glare, a knife in her hand, the lady's hand drifted to her eggs in the bag she carried them in. "You made it easy to come alone," she sneered as the Stark woman backed away she advanced.
"You're the one who set fire to the cart?" Rhaenyra asked a sharp tone.
"Well I needed a distraction," she smiled before surging forward as the white-haired woman leapt backwards, knocking over a torch into the hay, the rising smoke started to startle the horses who squealed in fear. Rhaenyra quickly undid the hinges and let the horses free, as a result the woman was knocked out when a horse barrelled into her in an attempt to get out, her and Robb's were freed quickly before the woman coiled into herself when the roof caved in as screams of the horses filled.
Robb who had helped put the fire out looked around as the people started to scream when more smoke filled the air. "The stables!" a guard screamed as people saw the horses running out. Corlys and Karn the first two. But Robb was realizing something. His wife was missing!
"Where's Rhaenyra? Where's Lady Stark?" he roared as others became worried. Valaena had joined and overhead the question and gasped when actual human screams erupted from the stables with horse screams where the fire engulfed the building.
Inside Rhaenyra whimpered softly as she lifted her head when sudden cracking, that didn't sound like wood, caught the Targaryen's attention and saw everything burn but her, the woman now long dead was charred as horses burned, but cries gained her attention as she turned and saw her destroyed bag. Slowly she reached out and pricked her finger on something before realizing it was a shell, the red egg! It was splintered. But the fire didn't drown out the sounds of screeching, crying. When she turned on her knees she spotted three figures curled together crying out for someone, crying out for her. She protected them quickly when the building collapsed.
Outside everyone stood with tears and were crying softly, Robb had been held back by Theon and Valaena who mourned the loss of a child she reared and nursed, they decided to wait until morning to reclaim the ashes of their lady. The horses that had fled the fallen building were skittish and being soothed by the people as Robb waited with the others. Corlys was kicking and reacting like a wild mare before Theon quickly went to help calm her down. "Remember what I taught you boy," Valaena spoke before preparing to leave. "I shall inform your mother and Maester Luwin," she claimed before walking away to do so.
IV
As the fire slowly died Grey Wind surged up confusing his owner who looked to the building before Robb stared in shock as his wife slowly lifted her head from the circled ball she had created, sitting among the ashes of the stable and remains of horses and the attacker. In his wife's lap was three creatures. "Fire cannot kill a dragon" Old Nan and Valaena's voice blended together from childhood, those words rang true today as she carefully undid herself bringing more shock as in her lap were three small beings, three small dragons. The one attached to her breasts was red with black highlights, the molten gold dragon was snuggled against her stomach and the light blue dragon was curled up on her legs, all three lifted their heads when she did. To Robb they were the size of the pups when they found them, maybe smaller but they were stunning. Rhaenyra carefully tried to stand before stumbling as Robb frantically cradled her, it alarmed the babies as they hissed and snarled at him before a firm 'no' came from his wife while he stared in shock. All but the red and black one had quiet down but the other kept glaring at Robb. Theon had a cloak quickly thrown around the Lady of Winterfell while the people gathered. Many were shocked but happy she was okay. Whispers of a true dragon quickly spread like wildfire alarming the young woman as she looked to Robb, eyes wide.
"Everyone quiet!" Robb ordered as they did so, many tried to get a better look while Theon gently pulled the cloak around his best friend and hid her babies too.
"Keep them hidden," he whispered as she nodded, carefully wrapping an arm around her children before Robb picked her up. Theon created a pathway for them as he stayed close by, but many reach to lightly touch their Lady of Winterfell's shoulders, shocked and in awe. As they came to the castle, Maester Luwin was already there with Ser Rodrik, Baela and Valaena, who had gone for help, while guard filtered through the teenagers to go deal with the crowd who may have witnessed the dragons.
"Robb, what happened?" he asked, eyes weary and full of worry.
"I'm not sure," Robb claimed as he lowered his wife, muffled shrieks and cries emitted from the cloak surprising the four present.
"Wh-" Baela was quickly cut off by Theon.
"I think this conversation should be held somewhere else," he claimed, worried for his friend who was still silent.
"I agree," the maester added. "Take her to my chambers please Robb," he requested as his student nodded, asking if she wanted to walk herself, when she lightly shook her head he gave a silent 'okay,' before picking her up effortlessly. The dragons whined a bit but not as much, Rhaenyra had readjusted her grip on them to secure a better hold. The four followed the trio as Maester Luwin had Robb take her to put a dress on, Valaena produced a plain slip that would cover her mistress. The others waited, Theon saying nothing about what happened despite the teacher's attempts.
"I'm not saying anything until Rhae comes out," he claimed as they frowned. Robb opened the door allowing everyone inside as Rhaenyra was already sitting on the bed but with three creatures in her arms. Two were shrieking softly at her while one just stared, watching her. Maester Luwin gave a soft gasp in shock, drawing their attention. The three quickly hissed, flashing their wings at the intruders while Robb paused before walking a bit closer to the woman sitting there.
"Quiet," she demanded as they looked to her making various squeals and trills as she looked to Maester Luwin as he carefully approached. "Hello Maester Luwin," she greeted as he nodded.
"My Lady," he swallowed, still staring at them in shock. Robb gently moved behind her and rubbed her back as she relaxed a bit, the red hatchling lifted it's head a bit. "H-how-" he stumbled somewhat to speak as she tilted her head softly.
"Fire and Blood," she recited as he realized her house words, they gave their true meaning. "You can come closer," she encouraged shoving the babies off her lap as they protested instantly, they tumbled head over tail as the red one righted itself instantly.
"Dragons," Baela uttered in awe as Ser Rodrik altered between staring at them and his lady. Maester Luwin approached first, careful as the red one hissed, looking ready to climb back onto her lap, but she just flicked it's nose lightly before it backed away.
"Are you well My Lady?" Maester Luwin asked worried as he felt more comfortable to approach, the hatchling backed away as he did so.
"As well as can be, I assume, from being in a fire," she spoke a bit curious as he chuckled softly.
"Yes I would assume so. Now may everyone leave so I can examine her, Robb, go and retrieve your mother, tell her what happened. Baela, go and draw her a bath," Maester Luwin ordered as they all nodded and went to do as ordered. Soon it was only them and the trio of dragons as the maester watched with curiosity while she smiled at their play when the blue one tackled the golden dragon. "Do they have names?" he asked curious while starting his exam.
"Maybe," she admitted with a small smile.
"Well let's hear them," he encouraged while she chuckled.
"Alright we have; Rhaella," pointing to the red hatchling who growled, "Rhaenys," the golden dragon, "and Alysanne," she finished to the blue hatchling who pounced onto Rhaenys.
"Good names, strong. Your mother's especially," he smiled as she grinned softly.
"I would hope she'd be proud, I love her coloring. I never knew why I named Rhaenys, I assumed it was my ancestor who was a dragonrider, or my niece who I lost before ever meeting," she gave a frown as he knew she was unharmed.
"It could be both, Rhaenys was a favorite among you kids, even the boys liked her, they liked her bravery which sadly cause her death. But the loyalty she had to her brother and husband, loyalty I can see might be in your dragon," he surmised as she grinned. "And for Alysanne?" he asked as the blue hatchling trilled to her mother, coming up and squeaked as she was picked up.
"Grandmother to my namesake and I chose a name I just liked," Rhaenyra spoke as she held the hatchling up, face-to-face, staring into her clear blue eyes.
"A great name," he agreed as the other two came closer, sniffing their mother's arm and climbed up into her lap. "They know who you are,. That's good," he noticed as she smiled. "You're going to have to be careful with them," Maester Luwin warned as she nodded. "The cooks will always give you meat you know that, besides that you all can hunt for them as well," he smiled at that when she chuckled as the hatchlings trilled at her.
"I promise," she swore making him nod.
IV
Catelyn had been practically torn from Bran's side when she learned her good daughter was still alive but Robb told her something she needed to personally see in person. The moment she entered she nearly shrieked in fear at being spat at by Rhaella who had been sitting in her mother's lap. Rhaenyra looked up in alarm before relaxing which made the hatchling retract.
"Cat," she breathed in relief. The woman slowly approached, carefully reaching a hand out to the girl's cheek before jerking back when a gold dragon climbed up and shrieked at her, trilling softly.
"What are they?" she asked in shock.
"Dragons, Mother," Robb claimed, understanding the shock as Rhaenyra stroked Rhaella's back, the little cat-size creature purred while watching Catelyn. "They hatched when the eggs were with her in the stables," he explained.
"Why did you have them in the first place?" Catelyn asked as she knew the eggs were usually locked up in the young couple's chambers.
"I was in the library, trying to search for anything about the eggs and dreams I've been having," Rhaenyra spoke up softly as she trailed a finger down Alysanne's back as she looked around, Rhaenys was clinging to her mother's shoulder while flashing her wings at everyone.
"Gods," the redhead spoke in shock before looking to the girl, she didn't know how to respond as Rhaenyra stared at her before looking down and moved the dragon off her lap. She carefully slid off the table when Robb tried to brace her, the girl shook him off. But what Catelyn realized is that the dragons were watching the white-haired woman's movements as she walked around.
"They seem to look at her as 'Mother' since every time someone comes too close to Rhaenyra, they screech" Maester Luwin explained as they watched.
"But how?" Catelyn asked confused.
"Blood magic," Maester Luwin confirmed as he turned to her. "It seems that the hatchlings were still alive inside their eggs. House Targaryen words are-"
"Fire and Blood," Robb spoke in, taking his wife's hand as she came closer. "It seems burning a living thing along with the eggs makes them hatch," he finished as the maester nodded.
"But how would this happen in the wild?" Baela confusingly asked, making sure to stay a bit away with her mother.
"Same thing; capture prey, drop it with the egg and burn. It would even be food for when the baby comes out," Maester Luwin concluded figuring that was how it seemed. "They seem to be like birds. They need a parent caring for them, so they'd need help growing," he shrugged before Rhaenyra spoke up.
"Unless they only needed the parent until they could hunt and defend themselves," she suggested before hearing cries. She turned and saw Rhaella trying to get to her, the hatchling almost fell off the bed when she slid a little too much. "Enough," she ordered softly, walking to the baby who shrieked in alarm at being pushed back.
"Demanding, little girls," Theon commented as they looked to him.
"How do you know they are girls?" Catelyn asked curiously.
"I don't. But they're given girl names so I guess refer to them as girls," Rhaenyra shrugged not knowing what to do with the claim. It wasn't like they'd have eggs, they might not even survive to adulthood if they're found out.
"This can not leave Winterfell," Catelyn suddenly spoke. "If Robert finds out, he'll send an army here to kill you. All four of you," she determined as the younger nodded.
"I already have my men out looking," Rodrik spoke out with a determined look. "The few who were close enough were loyal Northerner, ones who would not utter a word," he finished, a knowing look in his eyes.
"I hope so," Rhaenyra prayed. She hoped the girls survived and could grow, she didn't want to make it seem like she wanted to take back the throne. She'd run and hide with them if she had too but it would backlash onto her family.
"Let's talk about this some other time, I'm sure Rhae would like to rest," Robb spoke up, tired himself. Rhaenyra nodded before she offered her arms for the hatchlings to climb up, Rhaella climbed first, settling on her shoulder, Rhaenys clinging to her arm and Alysanne tangled itself in her hair. Everyone nodded and allowed the young lady to leave the Maester's chambers and go to her own after Robb walked alongside her giving her a cloak to cover herself. The trek was quiet with Rhaenyra making sure her dragons wouldn't cry out, she felt small rumbles from their tiny bodies, they sounded content underneath.
"They're quiet," she whispered as they walked up the stairs. Most servants seemed to have left to go care for everything outside.
"Perhaps they are happy under the cloak, they are babies, maybe it's too cold," Robb suggested as they entered their bedchamber. A warm bath was already drawn while Rhaenyra deposited her children on the furs. Grey Wind entered quickly after before Robb closed the door. He took off everything but his breeches and light shirt, she removed her cloak and slip to enter the tub. The heat soothed her instantly. Screeches quickly jarred her thoughts when she whipped around to see Grey Wind snarling at the hatchlings as Rhaella hissed in front of her sisters, both were fearful, unlike their stubborn sister. "Grey Wind!" Robb demanded before Rhaenyra called out.
"Rhaella!" The red-black dragon looked to her mother as the direwolf also broke the staredown to return to Robb. "Enough," she ordered, sending a handful of water at her daughter who leapt backwards in alarm, giving out a soft whine looking from it to her mother who glared.
"I'd say she understands you," Robb laughed softly as Grey Wind sat on a small furred rug for himself. Rhaella growled softly as Alysanne glided down, almost falling off with a stunned shriek, but climbed up to her mother, trilling and chittering at her before looking proud as she settled on her mother's bare shoulder. Giggling softly Rhaenyra lifted her wet hand to her blue hatchling, before running a finger down the baby's back as she purred, some water ran down too, steaming a bit. Robb carefully moved around to the other side to avoid Alysanne who watched him.
"She's beautiful, what's her name?" Robb asked as Rhaenyra looked to him.
"Alysanne, I named her after the 'Good Queen Alysanne' who was Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen's great grandmother. I would like to think she would grow up and become a good dragon," the female trilled as Robb smiled.
"With you I'm sure they will," he agreed as his arm lowered into water and against her knee.
"But I fear when the King finds out," she admitted as he frowned.
"We'll protect them," Robb swore as Rhaenyra smiled, a tear slipping quickly before she stopped him. "Hey," he gained her attention and even Alysanne's. "We will protect them, Rhae. I promise," he said once more pressing a kiss to the back of her wet hand he had fished from the tub, the white-haired beauty gave a tired, wobbly smile. "Do you want me to call Valaena or Lynara?" he asked as she shook her head.
"No, could you just rub my hair please?" she asked as he smiled softly, kissing her forehead lovingly.
"Of course, my lady," he agreed, pressing another kiss to her lips as she smiled and carefully lowered the blue hatchling in the water, she growled and looked around slightly terrified as Robb wet his hands before snagging the vials, he knew lavender was her main scent to soothe her. Moaning softly she leaned back while Alysanne coiled on her breasts enjoying the soothing water on her scales, purring while her mother washed her. "You've got company," Robb whispered as she looked up to see Rhaella and Rhaenys closer and sniffing the water before Rhaenys shrieked when her wing slipped and hit the water. Carefully Rhaenyra lifted a hand filled with water to the babies who hissed at it, lightly she dumped it before allowing the droplets to drip on the girls who winced and tried to leave before she scooped them both up while Alysanne remained on her breasts and Robb rinsed the pure white hair. Grey Wind curiously came over as he licked Rhaenyra's shoulder, before going nose-to-nose with a tense Rhaella. The two were staring at one another, occasionally bumping each other, the other two sniffed at Grey Wind before Alysanne carefully climbed up the shoulder and climbed onto the direwolf's head as she lowered Rhaella and Rhaenys into the water, carefully like with Alysanne who clung to the male as Robb watched. He had finished and was now rubbing her other shoulder while keeping an eye on his companion.
"I can't believe it," Rhaenyra whispered as Rhealla tried to avail the water, Rhaenys froze and just sat there, stunned. "They're getting along!" she cheered as Grey Wind licked the hatchling when she climbed to his face. She was tiny maybe the size of his skull, but she didn't show much fear this time, just sniffing him and trilling, she seemed to enjoy the fur of the wolf.
"Maybe they just startled one another, I assume they could get along," Robb grinned while his hand continued to rub her shoulder and arm as Rhaenys carefully climbed out of the water, tail whipping about to dry herself. Rhaella was the struggle before her mother all but caged her child and lowered her legs and tail first as she squealed softly, Grey Wind instantly tried to reach across to retrieve her as the hatchling growled before climbing onto his nose. Robb laughed realizing that they just helped each other, the wolf allowed the hatchling to the ground so she could dry herself, Alysanne followed to play with her sister while the golden hatchling stayed near her mother, sniffing her hair softly.
"How can we raise hatchlings?" she asked as he shrugged.
"I don't know," he admitted as the dragons played before Grey Wind went to lay down in front of the fire. "We will try and keep them quiet for now," Robb spoke as she sighed, leaning her head against his shoulder, Rhaenys curiously trilled, nudging her face. Bringing her hand up she stroked the gold neck and back as the female purred, stretching like a cat.
"They will become bigger until they are too big to hide," she frowned while he sighed, kissing her head.
"Don't worry for now love," he requested as she hummed while continuing to pet her hatchling.
