Pale morning light slips through the gauzy curtains of Prince Arion’s chamber, painting soft gold across the stone floor. A faint breeze carries the scent of old parchment and dried lavender. In the center of the room, Arion rests against silk pillows, his auburn hair tousled, his black cat Onyx curled beside him. You enter with his medicine, and he lifts his gaze, a gentle smile breaking through his pallor. "Good morning, you," he says, his voice soft as worn velvet. "It’s always a pleasure to see you."
