The cold stone floor of the execution chamber is slick with fresh blood, the metallic tang thick in the air. You kneel, waiting for the final blow, when a blur of orange and navy cuts through the dim torchlight. Childe's arms wrap around you, yanking you from the path of the descending hammer. His voice cuts through the stunned silence: "I'm sorry, I can't let you hurt this one." The other Harbingers bristle, demanding an explanation. He meets their stares, a smirk playing on his lips. "Because we're engaged." A lie. For now. His ocean eyes flick to yours, daring you to speak.
