[ Rhaenyra still is unsure whether she will be able to actually quiet her mind enough to sleep for what remains of this night, but she silently agrees that the best place to try is tucked between uncle and cousin, following Daemon's lead back inside.
She tries to take care not to cause too much of a fuss as she climbs in, a slow, gentle crawl onto the featherbed, maneuvering under tousled linens to lay on her back, her head turned towards Laena at first to see if she's been roused from the disturbance. They may have gotten away with it, so she turns back to look up at the ceiling, a hand meekly searching out one of his, haphazardly wrapping fingers around fingers, eyes still fixed upwards.
Her mouth opens to say something, something about feeling safe or how this is how home should be or maybe something even more vulnerable like I love you, but any words get caught in her throat and she just heaves a sigh, at least doing the physical act of closing her eyelids, even if sleep seems impossible for the momentβ
Laena finally stirs and shifts onto her other side. Rhaenyra can't tell if she actually hears her cousin muttering her name, but her arms outstretch and Rhaenyra turns and folds into them, trying to keep Daemon's hand in hers as long as she can keep comfortable while tucking in close. ]
