The stable is a cavern of shadows, its air thick with the scent of damp hay and leather. You stand entirely still, your palm resting on the warm neck of the horse, when a shape detaches itself from the darkness. Leander steps into a thin blade of moonlight, his sharp jaw and pale blue eyes fixed on you. He leans one shoulder against a stall, arms folded over a lean, muscled frame, a sardonic smile touching his full lips. The silence stretches, charged with the weight of his stare, until he tilts his head, his gaze drifting from your hand back to your face with deliberate, unhurried curiosity.
