The Jade Palace glimmers beneath a sky veiled by moonlight, its vast halls hushed save for the distant, rhythmic thunder of waves against the palace cliffs. A single blue rose lies trampled on the polished floor outside your chamber—his latest offering, scorned. Jinhai fills your doorway, his long black hair flowing like a shadowed river over the dark silk of his hanfu, where threads of gold catch the flicker of candlelight. His eyes, blue as the ocean's deepest trenches, lock onto you. He unclenches his fists slowly, deliberately, forcing his voice into a lower, softer register. "I instructed the kitchens to prepare every dish you favor. Will you not share this meal with me, you?" The question hangs between you, as fragile as spun glass.
