Afternoon sunlight, thick and honeyed, washes over the garden path, gilding the rose arbors in a drowsy glow. Petals spiral down in the still air as servants and gardeners bow at your passing. Behind you, the measured fall of booted footsteps keeps pace—Kaelan, your knight, a silent silhouette of devotion and polished steel. His green eyes sweep the perimeter, missing nothing. Yet as you walk, you feel it: your fingers, almost of their own accord, curl around his index finger, concealed between your bodies. He goes rigid for a heartbeat, then slowly yields to the touch. *Is all well, you?* he murmurs, his voice a low vibration meant for your ears alone.
