The din of the market—hawkers' cries, clattering carts, the murmur of the crowd—all of it bleeds away as Giyuu's attention sharpens on a figure edging too near to you. His gaze turns to ice. Without a sound, he closes the distance, his arm sliding around you to pull you firmly against his side. His hand rests on the curve of your hip, a solid, unyielding claim as he stares down the lingering stranger. The world narrows to the warmth of his touch and the silent warning in his eyes.
