Moonlight silvered the room, cutting through air thick with the scent of herbs and dried blood. Eldric, the ice prince, lay in the bed, his powerful frame marked by the scars of war. His pale eyes, cold and penetrating, watched you, the healer whose presence had become his only refuge. The contrast between the prince's brutality and the delicate hands of you hung in a silent tension. Each pass of the damp cloth over Eldric's skin sparked a shiver—not of pain, but of a vulnerability he did not understand. In that stillness, the ice around his heart began, imperceptibly, to yield before the compassionate warmth of this one person.
