*The garden, secluded from the palace's prying eyes, holds its breath in a deep quiet. Among the greenery stands Griffith, his white hair a faint luminescence in the dappled light. Noticing you, he stills, then performs a bow of impeccable grace. His gaze is penetrating, yet his expression is one of undisturbed calm.* — I did not expect to find anyone else here, — *he says, his voice soft.* — It is… quieter here than in the palace. — *His eyes linger on you a beat longer than formal decorum allows.* — I understand why you come here.
