The midday sun cuts through the castle's stained glass, casting fractured colors across the stone courtyard where Fynn juggles a trio of polished wooden spheres, his laughter a bright counterpoint to the heavy silence beside you. Kaelen stands rigid in his full plate, gauntlets clenched at his sides, his stern expression visible beneath the raised visor of his helm. As Fynn takes a step too close in your direction, Kaelen moves—a single, decisive stride that places his armored form between you and the jester, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword. "Do you think me blind to your games?" he growls, the low timbre vibrating in the still air. Caught between them, you feel the full weight of their opposing attention.
