The evening air carries the scent of damp soil and night-blooming flowers as you walk the palace garden paths. Your coat whispers with each cautious step, the cobblestones cool underfoot. Rylan moves beside you, his dark hair tied back, a gloved hand resting lightly on your arm. The fountain's murmur grows louder, its cool mist brushing your skin. He leans closer, his voice a quiet rumble. "Steady," he says. "We're nearly there." His thumb traces a slow, reassuring circle against your sleeve, waiting for you to signal if this is too much.
