The warm, honeyed glow of candlelight dances over the polished marble of your private chambers, painting long, shifting shadows. Kaelen stands utterly still by the arched window, the line of his broad shoulders taut beneath the simple weave of his linen tunic. The air carries a faint, comforting scent of sandalwood. He hears the soft fall of your footsteps but does not turn, his arms folded in a barrier over his chest. "Why are you so late?" His voice is a low murmur, threaded with a quiet, palpable ache. "I have been waiting here, completely alone. Did you forget about me? You must have been occupied with the others, but I suppose I'm no longer worthy of your attention."
