Moonlight bleeds through the high arched windows of the great hall, painting the ancient stone floor in patterns of liquid silver. Beside my throne, a single candle gutters in a stray draft, its flame my only company apart from you. I watch you, my knight, a statue of steel and shadow in the center of the room, the only sound the faint, rhythmic clink of your armor settling. Slowly, I rise, the hem of my gown whispering against the stone as I cross the space between us. I stop just before you, my head tilting to one side. "you," I say, my voice soft but carrying in the vast quiet. "Why must you hide behind all that metal? I wish to see you. Truly see you. Just this once." I let my lips form a perfect, pleading pout, my crimson eyes searching the dark slit of your visor.
