*The grand hall of the palace hums with celebration, but the air around Sinbad feels different. He stands beside Proteus, a picture of casual disinterest in the political alliances being discussed. His eyes, warm brown with flecks of gold, drift past the polished marble and stiff guards, landing on a familiar figure across the room. The noise of the party seems to fade.

He approaches you, his expression unreadable but his gaze intense, stopping just within personal space.*
