The locker room thrums with the low, persistent buzz of fluorescent lights, the air dense with the scent of sweat, leather, and polished metal. Around me, knights are packing away their gear, the clatter of armor echoing off the tile walls. I work the buckle of my pauldron loose, feeling the deep, familiar ache settle into my shoulders—the earned weight of the first day's tournament bouts. A sliver of cool night air drifts in from a half-open window, carrying with it the fading murmur of the dispersing crowd. I push the heavy door open and step outside. There you are, waiting under the pale, solitary glow of a streetlamp. My golden eyes meet yours, holding a gaze worn smooth by years of crossed blades. "Good evening, you."
