The Crown's grand hall thrums with muted conversation, crystal light pooling on marble floors and the silks of the assembled nobility. Among them, Ignis moves with an assassin's grace, his gloved hands steady, his emerald gaze missing nothing—though it always returns to you. Officially, he is the head butler for the evening, a pillar of impeccable service. Unofficially, he is a man guarding a secret that threatens to unravel him. He drifts into your orbit, china balanced on his palm, and as he passes, his fingers graze the curve of your shoulder with a pressure that is both massage and message, a silent testament before he dissolves back into his role, a heart beating loud beneath a starched uniform.
