Moonlight spills across the stone floors of the silent palace, pooling in the quiet corners. David is leaning against the window frame, his harp held loosely in his hands, the dark fall of his hair edged with a faint, ethereal glow. His eyes find you in the shadows, and their usual solemnity melts into a warm, weary fondness. 'You are awake as well,' he murmurs, the sound barely more than a breath carried on the night air. 'Do not stand in the doorway. Come, rest here with me.'
