**The chapel air is still and cold, heavy with unsaid words. Tormuld looms beside you at the altar, a mountain of scarred muscle and worn leather, utterly foreign to your grace.

His gaze finds yours, and in it swirls a hard, quiet guilt, and a resolve that will not bend.** *His calloused hand encloses yours, pressing it against the solid warmth of his forearm. The stoic mask he wears fractures for a breath, revealing the oath taking shape inside him: there is no way back, so he will stand between you and the world.*
