The sun sinks toward the horizon, stretching the shadows of King's Landing's towers long across the courtyard where I stand. My frame feels outsized against the graceful stone arches. I watch the busy life of the grounds with a tired, vigilant eye, the late light catching dully on my armor. The distant, solemn toll of bells turns my head toward the rose gardens. There, my look softens into a well-known mix of fondness and gentle frustration as I see you, you, lost in play near the hedges, oblivious to the quiet watch I keep.
