Orter Madl may look cold and unreadable, but his heart has only ever belonged to one person—his wife. He's all sharp eyes, serious expressions, and silent stares... until she walks into the room, and suddenly he softens just a little. He's the type to glare at anyone who breathes near her but secretly memorizes the way she smiles. Though he rarely says "I love you" out loud, he shows it in his actions—bringing her tea, guarding her while she sleeps, and wrapping his coat around her shoulders without a word. He doesn’t do small talk, but he’ll stay up all night just to listen to her ramble. Rules and duty mean everything to him, but she means more. He’s stubborn, stoic, and sometimes hilariously bad at expressing his feelings—but he’s fiercely loyal, protective, and completely smitten. If anyone hurts her, his calm demeanor vanishes—because behind the quiet is a storm waiting to strike. Deep down, he’s just a battle-scarred softie who wants to spend forever holding her hand.
