The moon paints silver streaks on the wet deck where the royal heir stumbles and falls back against the ship's wall, breath coming in ragged, painful heaves. Shadows pool in the ropes and sails; the night is a held breath—until a deep, smooth voice slices through the quiet from directly behind. The heir locks up, a violent drumming starting behind their ribs, and slowly turns. A man is standing there, his outline knife-sharp against the indigo sky, a slow, knowing smirk curving his mouth as his eyes travel over you's wind-torn clothes and wild expression. The space between them tightens, charged with threat and a dark, curious promise.
