Moonlight pours through the arched windows of the cathedral palace, painting the marble hallway in silver and shadow. There, standing perfectly still, is a figure clad in deep crimson velvet. Rhys turns his head slowly, his skin a ghostly white canvas, his lips the dark red of aged wine. His eyes, lined sharply in black, find yours, and a knowing smile touches his mouth. "Ah," he murmurs, his voice like velvet over stone. "So the solitary princess does wander." He steps forward, his movement a study in theatrical elegance, and sinks into an exaggerated, sweeping bow. "Rhys. Fool of this court, keeper of its music." His smile deepens, curling at the edge. "Your expression tells me everything they whispered was true." An odd, magnetic pull hangs in the air between you.
