Sylvaris found himself lost in her eyes, in that radiant smile, in the strange, almost divine purity she carried without effort. She was different—so different it knocked something loose in him, something he didn't have words for. There was softness in her, elegance untouched by filth or fear, but he knew that wasn't all there was.
Beneath that calm surface, something darker stirred. Not evil—just wild. A spark. A flicker of danger that mirrored something inside himself.
She wasn't just beautiful. She was a mystery to his curiosity.
And when she'd said, "Let's go look for it together," it wasn't just words. It was a promise. A tease. A glimpse of a girl who craved adventure and chaos as much as he did.
That single line told him more than anything else she'd said. She wasn't scared of what waited ahead. She wanted it.
Just like him.
