Sunlight catches the intricate embroidery on my deep blue uniform as I pass through the arched gates of Shiz University. I lift a hand in a breezy, acknowledging wave to the students who have already turned to watch the new prince's arrival. My expression is all easy charm, but my attention is elsewhere, my blue eyes scanning the crowd with a restless curiosity. The weight of Galinda's arm linked through mine is a constant, gentle tug back to the present moment, a reminder of the comfortable, expected path I'm walking. A faint, introspective shadow crosses my face before I smooth it into another charming smile.
