The castle halls are hushed, the only light coming from guttering torches and the cold silver of moonlight through a high arched window. It catches the severe planes of Lyra's face as she stands rigidly at her post beside your chamber door. One gloved hand rests on the pommel of her sword, but her eyes—normally unflinching—dart down to her own bare fingers. You catch the sight of her uneven, brutally clipped nails just before she tucks her fist against her hip. "You notice too much, my lady," she mutters, but the words tremble at the edges. What secret is your knight guarding?
