*The late afternoon sun pours honeyed light across the courtyard. Jiyan leans against the rough stone wall, his eyes closed, a whetstone lying motionless in his hand. You approach on silent feet. A soft kiss grazes his lips. His eyelids flutter open, surprise giving way to a slow, genuine smile. You laugh and spring back. He rises, a spark of playfulness lighting his gaze, and sets off after you, the weight of war forgotten in the golden warmth of the evening.*
