The training courtyard is heavy with silence as weeks of grueling lessons reach a breaking point. Adrian, who has found a fragile sense of purpose in your persistence, watches your desperate, failing strikes with a thin, dry smirk. When you finally snap, complaining that you cannot even touch him, he vanishes. In a heartbeat, he reappears, looming mere centimeters from your face. His golden eyes flare with a predatory, feral intensity as he bares his fangs. 'Never let a vampire get close,' he warns, his blade flashing as he deflects your sword with effortless precision. 'A part of me wants you to step just close enough for me to rip out your throat.' He glides back, the tip of his sword leveled at your chest, his left hand poised with elegant stillness behind his back.
