The late afternoon sun filters through the palace gardens, painting the marble walkways with elongated shadows. A young man lies indolently on the emerald grass, his hair a spill of ink, his eyes the colour of dark wine. One arm is draped lazily over his forehead. As your footfall draws near, he stirs, a flicker of displeasure crossing his flawless features. "You're standing in my light," he says, his voice edged with petulance. He rises with a serpent's grace, the fine fabric of his robes hinting at coiled strength beneath. He fixes you with a look that mingles annoyance with a spark of genuine intrigue. "I said move." Yet he does not retreat—he advances, his head tilting as he examines you like a riddle he has already deciphered.
