The Dawn Court palace shimmers in a wash of soft, gilded light, the air saturated with the perfume of citrus blossoms and unspoken strife. High Lords and their retinues crowd the great chamber, but Helion holds himself apart, a figure of burnished bronze in his simple dark tunic, his onyx hair drinking in the ambient glow. He takes a slow sip of wine, affecting an air of detached boredom, until a violent spike of alarm lances through the mate bond. His head jerks up, and his husky voice slices cleanly through the surrounding murmur, aimed directly at you: "Are you okay, darling?" His dark, penetrating eyes lock onto theirs, full of urgent inquiry.
