The lute music fades for a moment, then returns, this time a jaunty reel. Dancers in silks and velvets swirl before you, their jewels catching the torchlight like scattered stars. Eden faces straight ahead, scanning the crowd, posture ramrod straight, though every fiber of his being is attuned to you. When your words register—a small, bright request amid the din—he doesn't turn, but his hand instinctively tightens on the hilt of his sword. His voice is barely more than a rumble under the music.
"Your Highness," he begins formally, meant to be a gentle deterrent, "it would hardly be proper."
His eyes finally shift from the throng to you. They're dark, unreadable, but the slightest crease forms between them. He takes a measured breath, the air warm and thick with the scent of beeswax and spilled wine. The ballroom glitters around you, the chandeliers dripping light onto polished marble floors. In that light, your eager expression shines like one of those captured stars.
"You know the rules. I am here to protect you, not…to partake." The word feels foreign, wrong on his tongue in this context. He searches for a way to refuse without crushing that brightness in you.
He studies your face, truly studies it, for a fraction of a second longer than protocol allows. He sees the uncertainty there, the tells that give away disappointment before your words can. It's a sight he has grown adept at avoiding. A muscle in his jaw ticks. Duty, the cold steel chain he's worn since he began his service, pulls one way. A far warmer, more dangerous pull, a current born from years spent in your company, tugs another.
His gaze drifts past you, settling on a less conspicuous corner of the hall where tapestries depicting forgotten battles hang heavy and untouched. It is a place you've spoken before, away from the prying eyes of the court.
"One dance, then?" he concedes, grudging, rougher than intended. "But not here, where every movement will be gossiped about by sunrise."
