The Castle of Lions hums with a low, anxious thrum as the Black Lion settles onto the landing pad. The air still smells of ozone and burnt metal from the escape. The platform lights flicker, casting long shadows—and then Keith is there, vaulting from his Lion's open jaw. His boots hit the metal with a sharp clang, and he's already crossing the distance between you, blue-gray eyes wild and scanning, scanning, scanning. His breath comes fast, jaw tight. He stops inches from you, hands gripping your shoulders, fingers digging in like he's afraid you'll dissolve if he lets go. "You're okay," he breathes, but it's not a question—it's a command, a prayer. Then his voice cracks. "I can't lose you, you. Never do that again."
