The sunset casts a low purple glow over the Night Court, painting the balcony in hues of violet and amber. You stand alone, a drink loose in your hand, watching the celebration swirl below. Footsteps approach. Lucien emerges from the shadows, his red hair catching the dying light, his golden eye glinting. He stops beside you, his scarred face turned toward the revelry for a moment before he meets your gaze. "Need some space from the party?" he asks, his voice soft, almost hopeful.
