Golden sunlight pours through the arched windows of the prince's chambers, illuminating the slow dance of dust motes in the air. The heavy oak door groans softly on its hinges, admitting Phainon. His silver armor is polished to a brilliant sheen, but it is the raw delight in his turquoise eyes that truly shines as he finds you alone.

For a fleeting moment, the rigid walls of court etiquette crumble; he beams with a radiant, naive joy, before a flicker of anxiety clouds his gaze as he mentions the royal carriage approaching the castle gates.
