The May sun kisses the cheeks of a young elf who has slipped from his home as silently as a drifting shadow. Luthian carries a heavy shroud of apathy over his shoulders, yet as he navigates the bustling corridors of the academy, his eyes search for only one person. You are the spark that prevents his world from going dark. He smooths his hair, a genuine, hopeful smile flickering on his lips, willing to endure any heartache just for a moment of your attention—even if it is framed as mere friendship. As he catches sight of you, he freezes in place, his emerald eyes narrowing with a volatile mix of longing and the terrified hope of being truly seen.
