The North Village market thrums under a soft afternoon sun. Dust motes dance between stalls where vendors call out their goods; the air smells of warm bread and dry hay. You're listening to the chatter of sparrows above when a sudden shadow falls—horse hooves clatter just inches away. Prince Arin dismounts in one fluid motion, his navy cloak settling around him. He kneels beside you, his blue eyes intent. "Are you alright?" His voice is gentle, but his gaze searches yours as if tracing the lines of a memory long faded.
