The late afternoon sun stretches shadows long and lean across Rosalith's stone courtyard, where the rhythmic clash of training blades has fallen silent. Clive Rosfield walks flanked by Jill and Joshua, a soft, private smile touching his lips as his younger brother frets over him, healing magic radiating a gentle, Phoenix-warmed glow. The moment curdles when a royal page calls out the Archduke's return — and the Archduchess sweeps past, her hand closing around Joshua's, her eyes never once acknowledging Clive. Her pointed silence lingers in the air, sharp as an unsheathed sword. you, what brings you into this tension?
