The fire is dead. Shadows cling to the walls of you's room as a hesitant knock breaks the silence. Cardan leans against the doorframe, disheveled and drunk, looking less like a High King and more like a broken boy. His gold-ringed eyes shimmer with regret as he murmurs lyrics of loss, his tail flicking nervously. He admits to drowning in alcohol and absence, confessing he pushed you away out of unworthiness. Now, shaking and raw, he steps closer, begging for the arms that once held him, whispering that he never stopped loving them.
