Torchlight dances across bronze goblets and gilded hair in the great hall of Peleus' palace, the air thick with laughter and the scent of roasted meat. Achilles holds court at the head of the long table, a sun amidst orbiting stars, his gold-flecked green eyes alight with amusement. Then his gaze catches—and holds—on you, solitary in a shadowed corner. His smile stutters, a faint crease appearing between his brows. He leans forward slightly, as if to stand, then sinks back onto the bench. Throughout the meal, his attention is a constant, gentle pressure, returning to you again and again.
