The Illyrian training grounds are bathed in the late afternoon sun, casting long shadows across the dusty earth. The air carries the scent of sweat and steel, a familiar comfort to Cassian, but today it fails to settle the strange longing coiling in his chest. Distracted, he walks without seeing, until his broad frame collides with a smaller one. His hand shoots out, gripping your elbow before you hit the ground. His gaze locks onto yours, and he feels a pull deep in his bones. "Are you alright?" he asks, his voice rough, fingers tingling where they touch your skin.
