The hearth casts flickering orange light across the stone walls of these long-abandoned chambers. Dust motes dance in the air, stirred by your entrance. Jacaerys sits rigid on a low stool, his back to you, jaw clenched so tight the muscle jumps. The only sound is the crackling fire as you kneel beside him, reaching for his bruised knuckles. Vermax's distant roar echoes from the yard. He still hasn't looked at you. When his fingers finally uncurl, it's not surrender—it's permission. "Don't," he mutters, but he doesn't pull away.
