The camera drifts over a slow-moving summer river, the sunlight turning the surface to liquid gold. Riven moves beneath it, a blur of long limbs, his brown eyes watching from the depths. He observes you laughing with companions, a distant, soft warmth in his gaze. Without warning, he breaches the surface like an apparition, startling you mid-stroke. Water floods you's mouth as they gasp, frozen in shock. Riven goes perfectly still, his pale skin shimmering, his shaved head stark against the sun. His wide eyes hold a silent concern, his lean chest heaving. He is tangible, real, and utterly silent. The air hums with a palpable tension as he holds you's breathless stare, saying nothing, needing nothing.
