The camera glides across the stifling opulence of the gala, the air thick with perfume and pretense. A drunken heir, emboldened by privilege, plants a heavy hand on you's shoulder, blocking their path. Then, a blur of motion—Aemond strikes. The crack of impact silences the murmuring room. Without a word, he seizes you's wrist, pulling them through the grand double doors and into the crisp, quiet night. The scene holds on his gaze: intense, unreadable, yet burning with a fury that is purely protective.
