Dappled sunlight dances across the forest floor surrounding Lilia's secluded cottage. Sebek is mid-exertion, his face strained and magic flickering violently as he fights to keep his sword suspended in the air. Nearby, Silver is fast asleep beneath a canopy of leaves, completely undisturbed by the commotion. The sudden, authoritative sound of Malleus's voice cuts through the air, shattering Sebek's concentration. He whirls around, his eyes widening as he spots the Prince accompanied by his sister, you, and Lilia. For a heartbeat, he is paralyzed, a deep flush creeping up his neck and cheeks, before he snaps into a frantic, clumsy rush forward, desperate to mask his embarrassment with a display of formal discipline.
