"Here I am.." he answered quietly, watching her as she spoke and silently wishing his heart would calm. He had hoped she wouldn't mention the kiss, that it was some side effect of delirium and she'd have forgotten about it already, but alas.. "You lost a lot of blood.." he offered in effort to...

Dark brows dipped as Eira spoke of returning to the plateau, a step forward taken as his lips parted with the intention of protesting, but as her dress loosened and she looked back at him, his words stuck in his throat and he cleared it awkwardly. Fucking hell, Cul. "I'll.. Wait outside.." he...

Cullen's hand dragged down his scarred face as Faye passed comment on the tumultuous family he'd found himself involved with, and the warning that came with it.. "Right.." he sighed. "When she asked me to be her ally, I.. I figured she meant squad games, I didn't realise I'd be having to put...

"I think I have a pretty decent idea of what you want, Eira.." he answered gently, a humourless smile on his still-tingling lips. Power. It was all any noble he'd ever known wanted, and it wasn't something he could give her. 'I would... do it again, if given the chance.' His brow furrowed then...

He frowned, and a quiet sigh tumbled from his lips as he saw the sadness flicker across her face, like a stone skipped across a serene lake, disturbing its surface. The complexities she spoke of, the marks on his face and his family name. She would not be putting her lips to him if they were in...

Cullen's heart raced as Eira leaned closer, her soft breath spilling against his cheek before he felt the gentle brush of her lips. His mind raced with conflicting emotions, a tumultuous storm of relief, gratitude, and an inexplicable longing stirring within him. It had been so long since anyone...

Cullen had always made a point of avoiding events such as this. People generally avoided him too, and here, there were throngs of them who would scowl and spit in his path for nothing but the marks on his face. Luckily, he had found a spot on the face of a steep hill overlooking the bay where he...

Cullen gently cradled Eira's head as Faye administered the tonic, his expression furrowing slightly at Faye's remarks about alliances. "And here I thought I was special.." he quipped, though there was an underlying edge to his sarcasm. The realisation that Eira appeared to be playing a larger...

Cullen's concern for Eira deepened as he watched Faye tend to her wound, his gaze flickering between the two women as he awaited answer or action. His dark brows rose at Faye's assessment of the wound, but his worry persisted, gnawing at his insides like a hungry beast. When Faye posed her...

Well, this was one way to practice flight maneuvers. As the ambush unfolded, chaos engulfed the skies, shattering the relative tranquility of their training exercise. Cullen's instincts kicked into high gear, and Meala's swift maneuvers spared them from the worst of the fire, but the chaos that...

Cullen's arms tightened protectively around Eira's limp form as he cradled her against his chest and carried her inside, his heart pounding with worry. He nodded to Faye's question, his gaze pleading for reassurance as he laid Eira gently on the table in the center of the kitchen. "Can you help...

Cullen's hands moved with practiced precision as he followed Eira's instructions, dousing the wound in the Ransa tears before pressing his shirt back against it, applying firm pressure to stem the bleeding until hopefully, it closed. Meala's growl behind them added a layer of reassurance, a...

Cullen's heart raced as he climbed onto Tyafainne's saddle. "Eeeeasy.." he murmured, his movements cautious and deliberate. He could hear Meala grumbling as he rummaged through the bags, his fingers trembling with urgency until he found the bottle he was looking for. Clutching it tightly, he...

"Stop talking," he urged firmly, his voice tinged with urgency as he took her weight. He wasn't interested in rewards or accolades; all he wanted was to ensure Eira's survival. Her alliance had been unexpected, but he couldn't deny that it had already proven invaluable. Panic surged through him...

Cullen's mind raced as he absorbed Eira's words, his focus solely on getting her to safety. He tried to stay as calm and collected as he could. He'd been wounded many times, had seen so many of comrades injured and killed, but none of them were as important to Thanasian society as she was, and...
