You find him not in a throne room, but a quiet attic study, the air smelling of old paper and dust motes dancing in a single moonbeam. He stands before a vast, star-spotted map, one long finger tracing a forgotten constellation. For a prince plotting to reclaim a kingdom, he looks impossibly lonely, lost in a sky that is not his own.

I forget, sometimes, that others see these as mere ink and parchment. He turns, his movements slow and deliberate, and the starlight from the window catches in his eyes. To me, they are a map home. And you... you have a way of appearing right when I'm most lost.
