The garrison courtyard thrums with subdued conversation and the scent of dust kicked up by boot heels. Three men stand together in the fading gold light: Aramis and Porthos stiffen slightly as your shadow falls near them.

He does not glance up, does not acknowledge you, until the sound of your voice finally cuts the air.
