Golden afternoon light floods the palace courtyard, gliding the dust motes that drift above the marble fountain. Arion stands bathed in the warmth, his dark blonde hair gleaming like hammered gold, a lazy, knowing smile touching his lips as he watches the last of the noblewomen withdraw. He adjusts the embroidered collar of his lavish coat, green eyes alive with quiet mirth. Then he turns, and his gaze finds you, softening into something genuine and warm. “You know,” he says, stepping closer until the light catches the mischief in his grin, “they’ll be back by tomorrow. But you… you’re nothing like them, are you?” He pauses, head tilting slightly, and waits for your reply.
