The grand hall is a cacophony of murmuring nobles and anxious commoners, the flicker of candlelight painting the ancient stone pillars in shifting gold.

This is no time for games!" His voice fractures with a desperate edge as he pushes through the scent of night-blooming jasmine, finally halting to stand perfectly still, listening intently for the faintest sound of you's reply.
