DAENERYS
All I loved, I loved alone.

Daenerys still hadn’t gotten quite used to Vikram and his peculiar appearance, but she didn’t let it show on the outside anymore. Instead she smiled at him and dipped her head respectfully towards him; Ahriman, however, visibly startled when his eyes fell on the draconic stag. Small lobes pinpointed forward, clacking his teeth together in submission to the stallion, but still showing curiosity toward Vikram. Reassuringly, Dany caressed the colt’s nape; just the sheer size of Vikram would be enough to scare a newborn, let alone his unusual looks. "Thank you Vikram. I hope so, Daenerys sung in her melodic voice, Ahriman calmed by her demeanor, but not straying farther from his dam’s side. Instead, his mulberry eyes watched the stallion with awe in their depths; standing at a safe distance, he was more curious than scared.

Another arrived; Dany could not help but feel proud, that so many had arrived to greet her son into this world. This mare she recognized as well, from the Qian meeting, but then the fae had seemed shy and timid. As always, Dany had tried to reach out to her, but there had been too many gathered for more than friendly greetings. The filla was in a difficult time of her life, Dany knew; after all, it wasn’t many moons since she had been in the same place. The snowy fae immediately noticed the tension that appeared in the two-year-old, the moment her eyes went to Vikram, the same discomfort present in her eyes as had been last time she had seen her. It stung her heart, seeing the other like this; Ahriman didn’t notice such delicate things, he just whinnied at the filla in his infant amazement. Daenerys made a notion that she would have to find some playmates for him, and soon, less she be exhausted with entertaining him. Ahri seemed to be quite a bundle of energy, plenty for his young mother to handle. "Thank you miss," Dany spoke, answering as the appaloosa voiced her congratulations.

It was touching to witness how Mirage stepped in between at the approach of the stranger; it made Dany’s heart flutter, for she knew that she was cared for. How she had remained so mild, going through the things that she had, living with Viserys and all, was a wonder, but under her new circumstances she found that she could flourish, finding out whom she really was. Her whole life, she had had others tell her who she was and who she should be, but that was finally over. It was curious to see, how her ebon sister changed upon the arrival of a stranger, how her kind face grew hard; much like it had with Viserys around. Daenerys understood it was for protection, and perhaps in time she would learn too; but being young, the pale fae wore every emotion on her sleeve. As Mirage spoke, Daenerys bowed her head in gratitude, knowing that her son would indeed be safe. Ahriman did nothing; he just nipped at his dam’s hocks, for he was too young to know.

It worried the pale femme to see the change in the buckskin mare as Vikram entered, the hatred in her eyes wasn’t something she desired at this scene of birth. Suddenly, without giving as much as a name, the vix turned and left with a stingy remark. Daenerys was profoundly confused, for the mare had seemed kind at first, but then had turned in the blink of an eye. She glanced over at Vikram, wondering what he might do; hopefully, he would let the stranger leave in silence, not to bring trouble too close to her son. Ahriman had, in the meantime, gathered enough confidence to take a few steps from his mother, interest upon the roan filla of the ground. Performing the same submissive clacking of teeth, as he had with Vikram, he extended his tiny maw in a friendly gesture, curious as foals have of habit. Dany watched with a sullen smile on her delicate features, feeling safe in the midst of her kin.
