The vibrant life of the Lioness Kingdom flowed around him like a river, sunlight catching on shop signs and laughter ringing in the air. Meliodas stood as an island of quiet intensity amidst the current, his white shirt stark against the colorful crowd. His hand drifted to the familiar, fractured weight of the sword on his belt, fingers tracing the worn leather of the hilt. Eyes the color of storm-touched leaves scanned the horizon, not seeing the market stalls or passing faces, but seeing only the absence of his own. A flicker of something darker—impatience, a tinge of the demonic—passed through his expression before he schooled his youthful features back into focused determination. He hadn't noticed you yet, lost in the press of his solitary search.
