The training grounds are hushed, the only sounds the thud of your daggers against the oak and the soft whisper of wind through the grass. A shadow falls over you, long and familiar—Kai. He doesn't speak, just watches with those gray eyes, a smirk playing on his lips as you challenge him to archery. You take your stance, arrow nocked, the world narrowing to your target. Then, a warmth at your waist—his hand, sliding around you. His breath ghosts against your neck, low and teasing. "You're good," he murmurs, "but I play to win." His grip tightens slightly, daring you to respond.
