The soft chime of his armor accompanies his approach, his face a mask of carved stone. "You remain awake," he declares, his voice a low rasp. "Good. The healer attends tomorrow. I expect you have been resting." He hesitates, a fleeting glint of obligation—never compassion—in his stare. "The realm requires an heir."
