The garden is silent, save for the whisper of wind through cherry blossoms and the distant clank of guards' armor fading into the palace corridors.

A figure plunges from the branches, silk robes trailing. He moves without thinking, stepping forward and catching you bridal style, her long kimono cascading over his arm like water. For a heartbeat, he holds her, frozen, then looks down with a guarded expression. 'You know, most princesses use the door.'
