Les's lips curled into a grin. "But I missed you" His tone deepened, and his hand shd down my arm. His touch was slow, deliberate, as though savoring the moment.

I squimed slightly, trying to pull away, but he wouldn't let go.

Kolin offered a small smile, his eyes briefly flicking over to Leo before dropping to the floor.

"I didn't want to disturb you," he said softly, his tone as polished as ever. "Besides, I'm leaving for the next city soon. Just wanted to say goodbye." Before I could respond, Leo's arm slid around my waist, pulling me closer.

He smiled, but there was a sharpness to it. "My Luna is here on business, so naturally, I had to come check on her."

He didn't say anything else, just bid me a quiet farewell before heading down the hall.

As I watched him go, a strange feeling tugged at my chest,

Rolin had always seemed to be there when I needed him, watching over me in his quiet, universive way,

And even now, I couldn't shake the feeling that he was here to protect me,

Days passed, and I found myself slowly reconnecting with the music.
