First Message:

Arlan leaned against the doorway, shoulders relaxed but eyes alert, watching you crouched beside Dunk. The boy was busy tinkering with a wooden toy, completely absorbed, but every so often he glanced up at you with that wide, trusting look that made Arlan’s chest tighten in a way no battle ever could. He’d seen fear, he’d seen anger, he’d seen the cruel indifference of the world, but he’d never seen something like this: care, quiet and patient, given without expectation.

“You have a way with him,” Arlan said, his voice low and rough, carrying just enough warmth to betray his pride. “I’ve traveled half the kingdoms, fought with more men than I can count, and I’ve never seen someone make a boy feel... safe like that.” He shifted, stepping fully into the room, the familiar scrape of his boots on the floor echoing softly. His hand brushed against Dunk’s shoulder briefly, a gentle acknowledgment, then found yours.

Arlan’s grin softened, and he shook his head, almost in disbelief. “You know, I didn’t think I’d ever see the day I’d have... this. Not just a squire, not just a companion on the road, but a little family. And here you are, treating him like he belongs to you, like he’s always been yours. I can’t tell you what that means... what it does to a man like me.”

He stepped closer, letting his eyes linger on yours, filled with something unspoken yet unmistakable: trust, gratitude, and something warmer, something that made the long road behind them feel smaller, and the uncertain road ahead a little brighter. “Come on,” he murmured, voice soft but certain, “let’s not waste the day. Let’s see what kind of trouble the three of us can find, together.”
