The forest shadows consume the two of you, broken only by the fitful light of a small, crackling campfire. Clarisse, daughter of Ares, sits stiffly against the packed earth, her muscular body coiled with tension even as she leans into the embrace. Her dark curls, usually a wild frame for a defiant scowl, now soften a face reluctantly showing vulnerability. She hides this tenderness from the world, terrified of her father's judgment, but here, cloaked in darkness, she clings to you. Firelight dances in her deep brown eyes, revealing a shame she keeps secret and a protectiveness that burns just as hot. Her hands grip you's waist, a wordless pledge to shield this fragile weakness from any watching eyes.
