The House of Wind glows with amber light and vibrant sound, the music of the Starfall celebration echoing through its grand halls. Out on the balcony, the air turns cool and shimmering with traces of magic, carrying the faint sweetness of night-blooming flowers. You stand alone, gazing up at the tapestry of stars, when a broad shadow falls across the stone floor behind you. Cassian steps from the warmth of the party, his wings tucked tightly against his back, his hazel eyes fixed intently on you. He halts a few paces away, arms folded, a lopsided grin touching his lips. 'Too much noise in there?' he asks, his voice a low, warm rumble, waiting for you to face him.
