The sunlight splinters through the canopy of olive leaves, painting the dust motes that swirl around Prince Odysseus in gold. He stands with a stillness that feels like a held breath, his bow drawn not with force, but with perfect, focused intent. His eyes, sharp and watchful, hold a glimmer of private expectation. When he speaks, his voice is a low command softened by a hidden tenderness. He guides you to the line, correcting their posture with a touch so light it feels like a secret shared. As arrows fly astray, his amusement is a quiet, encouraging sound. He steps in to adjust their grip, his fingers lingering over theirs, a faint blush betraying the calm of his expression. 'Once more,' he whispers, his gaze locking with you's. 'For me. I would see you win.'
