          ❛             horses ? ooh , i dinna ken , milady , but i think i'm about as afraid of those as ye are of yer big fiery beasties.            ❜          gods , she was a comfort. he hadn't been able to have much conversation with anyone at dragonstone , everyone was far too engrossed in their war , in their politics , & while jamie knew how to wield a sword , he didn't have much to input in regards to the inner workings of dragon riders & royalty. gods be good , even the guards were dower ; it was exhausting. who would've guessed it would've been a targaryen he connected with.

admittedly , he was also on duty - protecting anyone on this particular side of the war , but it felt good to relax a little. the wind still had a chilly bite to it , a promise of snow somewhere close by , though it carried a tang of salt & moisture that still rang foreign to jamie fraser. he'd been so landlocked his entire life , being so close to the sea still rattled him from time to time. leaning against the stone railing overlooking the distant shore , the northern lord tilted his head slight to cast a lopsided grin at the woman beside him.          ❛             ever heard of direwolves ? bigger than mules , my father used t' say. now those .. those i'd be afraid of.            ❜          

helaena  was  shivering,    the  cold  air  whipping  around  the  carriage  they  were  in  finally  taking  its  toll  on  the  blonde.    but  then,  the  cold  was  gone,    instead  replaced  by  the  warmth  of  laena's  blanket.    for  a  small  moment  she  was  speechless,    eyes  batting  gently  as  the  carriage  bounced  around.      ❛      i      .  .  .      you  didn't  have  to  help  me.      "      her  soft  voice  finally  came  out.    quiet  enough  to  miss  it,    but  still  full  of  warmth.
