"Roan Targaryen what in gods name are you doing" Rosalie asked as she looked up to the ceiling of his chambers where her son stood on a beam tying to reach for something

"Mother you look lovely today practically glowing" Roan said smiling at his mother who smiled and rolled her eyes "yes yes thank you my dear boy now what are you doing up there" Rosalie said looking worried when roan let go of the beam holding onto nothing for support

"oh a bird flew up here its wing looked abnormal thought i would see if i could grab it and bring it to Helena" the boy of ten and two said warming his mothers heart Roan was rather protective of his twin and always supported her interest for bugs and creature

"well that is very kind of my dear" Rosalie replied watching her son climb down only taking a deep breathe of relief when his feet finally touched the ground

"well i am the kind boy you raised me to be" Roan said bringing the bird to the box he had set on his bed

"what did you need mother" Roan asked kissing her cheek letting her place a soft kiss onto his forehead

"well yours and your sisters name day is coming up soon , and I know you wished for a tourney or hunt and I was wondering if you had made up your mind yet, so your father and I can begin preparations" Rosalie explained sitting down making him nod

"what did Helena wish to do" Roan asked as he knew his sister did not like violence "she wishes for us as a family to watch the stars and have a campfire she said that she would most likely stay at the castle with Ser William for the tourney if one were to happen"

roan hummed thinking about it "I wish for a hunt it would be fun to go hunting with father and uncle, a royal hunt and Helena can participate and be their we can do what the campfire and watching the stars and my hunting" Roan decided with a happy smile

"wonderful I will talk with your father, you have your lessons today do not forget" Rosalie reminded standing up him making him groan and fall back onto his bed

"why I already finished my lessons mother except my fighting and politics" he said trying to convince her to change her mind

"yes yes and somehow you continue to catch things and people on fire you will attend your lesson bye bye my dear I love you" she said rushing out of the room leaving him to sulk

"it was one person one time" he muttered under his breathe before grabbing the bird to bring it to his sister

--------------------------------------

"brother what brings you here" Helena asked setting her book down looking at the box her twin held with interest

"a present that is in need of help" Roan answered making her stand up and rush to his side "what is it and what is wrong with it" she asked moving somethings out of the way for more room

"a bird it's wing is hurt" Roan answered setting the box down before watching his sister as she slowly removed the lid gently picking up the blue and red bird who quietly squeaked in fear

"shhh, shhh it is alright I am here to help dear birdy" Helena whispered petting the birds head gently with her index finger

"Carla please call for Lady Lilly she should be able to help me" Helena requested looking at her maid who nodded and left the room to find the elder lady who helped Helena when she had injured creatures and animals

"thank you brother" Helena said making him nod

"are you ok you have your thinking face on" Roan asked "I dont have a thinking face" Helena said shaking her head but Roan laughed

"yes you do father says that you have the same face as mama does when thinking"

"Mhh ok well I am thinking Rhaenyra purposed a betrothal between jacaerys and I mother and father have told me it is my choice to say yes or no I just don't know what to choose" Helena said expressing her feelings about the subject her brother was the one person other than her mother that she could confide in about anything

" Their thinking about marriage for you" roan exclaimed in shock rather loudly making Helena smack his arm

"Will you keep your voice down you will startled them" Helena said referring to her animal as she glared gently at her brother who nodded and raised his hands in defense

"And no mother and father are not thinking about marriage for me, they were simply asking my opinion about the matter mother made it clear that the choice is mine"

" Well I have no thoughts the decision is entirely up to you sister"

-----------------------------
"Princess, William what can I do for you" Ser Callum asked as Helena and her protector walked towards him

" Hi Ser Callum are my parents up for visitors I wish to speak with them" Helena asked rocking back and forward on her feet nervously

" Let me see Princess" he said knocking on the door receiving permission to come in

" My queen and king Helena is here wishing to speak with you" he said looking at the two who were sitting in their bed each having a book in their laps

"Let her in" Viserys said setting his book down

" You can come it princess" he said letting her in before shutting the door standing back at his station

" My butterfly are you alright" Viserys asked as Helena crawled into the bed sitting between them

" Papa mama"she said kissing both their cheeks receiving gentle smiles from both parents

" yes Papa I am well I just wished to speak with you" she said making them nod

"I don't wish to marry or be betrothed to Jacaerys I feel like there is someone out there for me and it is not him" helena said making both Viserys and Rosalie smile

"very well my butterfly whatever you wish and I am positive that their is someone out there for you I am sure of it" Viserys said making her nod and smile before zoning out mumbling

"A dance of heat and a dance of chill,
Together, their union gives a thrill.
Burning desire and freezing touch,
A paradoxical love, it means so much"

" Helena my sweet girl are you alright" Rosalie asked seeing the blank look her daughter held looking at Viserys who looked concerned

"Yes mama why" Helena asked looking confused

"you zoned out Helena what were you mumbling about" Viserys said placing his hand in Helena's cheek to see if she was warm

"Nothing I am going to go to bed good night love you" Helena said before leaving the room in her thoughts leaving her parents confused and concerned
