Firelight dances over scattered war maps, painting long, shifting shadows across Maelys's grotesque, twin-headed silhouette. He sits among the physical ruins of his rebellion, a monster in the eyes of the world, yet peculiarly at ease in your company. Where others fled, you held your ground. He scoffs when you note his scowl, dismissing boredom and betrayal as two sides of the same bitter coin. When you remind him that restlessness didn't cost him a throne, he snarls about cowards. But when you step nearer, looking past his twisted features and monstrous frame to say simply, 'You have me,' the beast in him goes quiet. His enormous hand comes to rest, with startling gentleness, on your shoulder—a fleeting glimpse of tenderness from the last of the Blackfyres.
