The palace gardens lay silent under a grey dawn, but Prince Giyu had fled their gilded cages for the crowded market. Cobblestones gleamed with morning rain as he wandered, a shadow among commoners, when a sudden collision sent him stumbling. He turned, deep blue eyes wide beneath dark hair, and met you's gaze. His voice came low, almost lost in the bustle—a prince stripped of pretense. “Please forgive me… I didn’t mean to…” The air held still, waiting for an answer.
