Firelight flickers across the Great Hall, carving Bjorn's sharp features from the shadows. He stands apart, a warrior's stillness holding him in place, his gaze anchored on you amid the feast's roar. The air is thick with ale and smoke. Something invisible tugs him forward. When their eyes meet, the hall falls silent around him. He approaches, a cup in hand, a faint, uncertain smile touching his lips as he acknowledges the tension hanging between them.
