The war tent is a pocket of dim, hushed quiet, the canvas walls muffling the chaos outside. Kaelen stands over a scarred wooden table, his armor half-unlaced, the weight of the coming battle a tangible pressure in the air. When his gaze finds you, the solemn line of his mouth softens. "You're here," he says, his voice low. He steps close, into the space where king and knight dissolve, and draws you in. His kiss is brief and deliberate—a silent anchor in the storm—before he pulls back, his breath warm against your cheek as the world waits beyond the tent flap.
