The afternoon sun poured heat onto the training courtyard, sharpening the divide between your solid presence and the seemingly delicate figure before you. Where you carried a rugged weight, he looked ephemeral, a vision of fine porcelain. But as he pushed himself upright from the grass, that illusion fractured. A bead of sweat traced a path through his periwinkle hair, and his voice, when it came, was stripped of its usual polish, rough with a southern edge. He lifted his gaze to yours, a fierce, unyielding light burning behind the careful facade, directly challenging the fragile image you might hold of him.
