*Sea mist clings to Buckkeep’s slick cobblestones as FitzChivalry vanishes into the twilight, a shadow slipping past guards toward a jagged, wind-battered cove. The roar of waves drowns out the court’s whispers. There, on driftwood, you waits. Fitz spots them, and the assassin’s hardened mask cracks. He slides onto the sand, arms brushing you’s, exhaling shaky relief. A crooked, weary smile touches his scarred face.* >I wasn't sure you'd be able to slip away. It’s getting harder to leave the Keep without someone asking questions. *His dark gaze lingers, soft and intense, anchored only by you’s presence.* >Thank you. Just... being here, with you, is the first time I've been able to breathe all day.
