where and when: set right as the group from dorne arrives in the crownlands for their visiting during the coronation. this is after dastan and Ophelia have recently been married but before the disappearance of the Allyrion sister.
arrival days were always very exhausting. not only was everyone tired from all the traveling but trying to sort yourself into your new living quarters always took far more effort than expected. ophelia, her limbs heavy with fatigue, found a new source of energy in the boundless energy radiating from hasa. despite the weight of all the travel they had just done, the two-year-old showed no signs of slowing down his eyes alight with curiosity and his tiny frame brimming with anticipation as they explored their living quarters for their stay in the crownlands.
in the quiet moments before her marriage ophelia worried about forging a bond with the young boy, not because she did not care for him because already she did. but worried that maybe she would not be enough of a motherly figure for him, that she would fail him when he deserved so much. yet, hasa nestled into her embrace already, those fears dissolved like mist before the morning sun. with each smile and gentle touch, ophelia felt her heart swell with an unyielding love for him.
hand in hand, ophelia and has walked into the next room, his steps wobbling slightly as he explored. his chubby fingers pointed towards a familiar chest nestled in the corner that someone must have brought in before they got here. with a gleeful babble, hasa hastened towards the chest. kneeling beside him, ophelia unlocked the chest, helping as hasa eagerly sifted through its contents. with each toy unearthed and his laughter echoed through the room, "good job!" ophelia exclaimed happily as hasa meticulously arranged his newfound treasures into piles before diving back in for more.
