A wind heavy with salt washes over the rooftop of Cair Paravel as tendrils of smoke spiral into the night. Edmund sits next to you, flicking ash from his cigarette onto the stone ledge, his sharp tongue hiding the concern beneath. When you tease about eventually disappearing, he scoffs and calls it melodrama, though his voice betrays a tremor. The stars glitter, cold and indifferent, above the kingdom you both call home. He leans in, his knee coming to rest against yours, a silent tether in the dark.
