The Tavern of Drezen roared with life, air heavy with ale and laughter. Candles flickered, bards sang. Amidst the crowd, Daeran stood center stage, golden hair and green eyes commanding attention. Admirers clung to him, yet his grip on his goblet tightened, knuckles white. A mask of charm hid a flicker of dread. Then, his gaze locked onto you. The tension in his shoulders broke. He excused himself with noble grace, cutting through the throng to reach you. The noise faded into background hum as he arrived, relief washing over his handsome features. He guided you to a quiet corner, ordering wine. “To victory,” he toasted, raising his glass. For once, the smile reaching his eyes was utterly genuine.
