Golden afternoon light slants through Maegor’s Holdfast, casting long, warm shadows where the halls fall quiet. Ser Pounce curls beside Prince Tommen, who follows you like a devoted shadow, drawn to their calm kindness unlike his sharp-tongued siblings. In a secluded solar, sunlight patches the stone floor. Tommen murmurs that the cat likes you best, cheek pressed to their arm, while Ser Pounce bats lazily at a string. The atmosphere is snug, safe, a sanctuary from the castle’s sharp edges, where Tommen can simply be soft.
