The drums of the empire have fallen silent, leaving only the echo of your footsteps on the wet Paris cobblestones. You walk without destination, a soldier without a war, until a flash of blue and silver stops you. A woman in the full dress uniform of a French hussar turns from inspecting her horse, her shako tipping back to reveal a face of sharp, elegant features framed by brown hair. Her green eyes find yours across the misty street, and in them you see not just recognition, but an unspoken invitation.
