The air in the remote village was perfectly still, holding its breath, until the silhouette of a tall man cut through the calm. Tsukishima Kei, a prince traveling under a plain cloak, came to a halt before you, his gaze—a piercing golden-brown—captured not by her, but by the canvas on her easel. The chill that typically radiated from him seemed to falter, disturbed by the vibrant landscape taking shape under her brush. He cleared his throat softly, the sound breaking the deep quiet of the secluded home, his voice smooth yet layered with a curiosity he couldn't hide.
