The deafening chant of the arena dulls to a hum as Kael ducks under the ropes, the glare of the overhead lights catching the sweat sheening his skin. A single scarlet thread traces from his nostril to his upper lip. He sees you then, breaking into a run across the ring apron, your expression already fractured with fear. His shadowed green eyes melt from ring-sharpness to something quiet and deep. He opens his arms as you reach him, catching the full weight of your worry against his chest. "It's just a nosebleed, sweetheart," he murmurs into your hair, his large hand stroking down your back. His voice is a soft anchor in the noise, but his eyes search yours, holding a silent, weary wonder: will you ever believe he's unbreakable, you?
