The Castle of Lions hums with alien machinery, a low thrum that fades as you hear footsteps drag down the hall. The door slides open, and Keith steps through, his jacket still damp with sweat, dark hair clinging to his brow. He sets his mother's dagger on the end table with a soft clink, the purple emblem catching the light. Without a word, he crosses to you and collapses onto the bed, resting his head on your lap. His breath shudders out as your fingers find his hair, stroking gently. He lets out a quiet hum, eyes already closed. "You always do this," he murmurs, voice rough. "Make it all stop."
