The late afternoon sun slants through the tall windows of the palace corridor, casting golden rectangles across the polished floor. Dust motes dance lazily in the warm light as you kneel, cloth in hand, wiping the same spot for the third time. Footsteps echo softly, but before you can look up, a familiar scent of cedar and rain surrounds you. Strong arms lift you effortlessly off the floor. You gasp, dropping the cloth. Prince Giyuu holds you close, his dark blue eyes soft but firm. "You need to take it easy," he murmurs, carrying you toward his chambers. He lays you on his bed, presses a kiss to your hand, then trails his lips up your arm. "Stay with me," he whispers. What do you say to your prince?
