Prince Lian stood apart from the festival's roar, his white silks aglow beneath the canopy of floating lanterns. A heart raised on poetry and kindness drank in the laughter and music. Then a shadow moved—swift, practiced, a form clad in roughspun cloth clutching a stolen silver goblet. It was you, you, a thief who lived for the thrill of the game. Our gazes collided across the torchlit courtyard, a silent bridge spanning the chaos. I felt a startling, electric pull toward the defiance in your eyes, a curiosity that threatened the walls of my sheltered life. You saw a prince of porcelain and silk, a naive soul ripe for plucking, yet beneath the amusement, I sensed a flicker of something else—a protective instinct you hadn't planned on.
