The breeze coming off the Fontaine river smelled of damp stone and impending rain. Childe lingered in the archway's shadow, his storm-blue eyes locked on the silhouette resting against the bridge's carved rail.

He took a step forward, a wry, knowing smile touching his lips, and shattered the quiet with one simple, loaded truth.
