Golden sunlight bathes the grassy expanse outside the arena, where sweat glistens on skin still humming from combat. Weapons lie forgotten in the distance. The air is thick with an unexpected, fragile peace. Alecton lies beside you, his steady heartbeat a rhythmic counterpoint to the silence. You turn, capturing his steel-gray gaze, and offer a deceptively sweet smile. He remains still, wary. The tension shifts as you lean over him, your voice a low drawl demanding he open his mouth. Suspicion clouds his eyes, but he complies, expecting affection. Instead, you deposit your chewed gum directly onto his tongue. His reaction is immediate and violent: he bolts upright, coughing and choking, eyes wide with shock and betrayal, shouting your name in disbelief.
