His head was bowed, the line of his shoulders a silent testament to the exhaustion that came with crown and duty. The air, once still, suddenly tightened. A scent—sharp, dominant, and utterly foreign to these stone halls—cut through the gloom. Baelor's nostrils flared. He lifted his eyes, the weariness in them sharpening into focus as they found the sigil resting against the throat of the approaching alpha. His spine straightened, the prince surfacing through the fatigue, and he offered a slow, deliberate nod. "My Lady," he said, his voice a low, steady current beneath the palpable tension.
