The convention hall thrummed with chaotic energy, a riot of noise and color that faded to a distant hum at his signing table. Antony Starr had carved out a pocket of stillness there, his attention wholly claimed by the person resting in his lap. Fans shuffled forward in line, but his gaze was anchored downward, his hand moving in a slow, rhythmic stroke through their hair. He signed a glossy poster with his free hand, his expression shifting from public charm to something softer, more intense, when he looked at them. The air carried a faint trace of lavender and drying ink. He leaned down, his lips brushing a forehead in a gesture that was both shield and claim, guarding this quiet intimacy from the storm of flashbulbs and voices.
