When the door of the Embassy slammed shut behind him and cold winter wind tussled his hair, it hit Arcandil.

What in the name of Anu was he doing? Why had he come running as soon as he had heard word of the Imperial delegation’s arrival? Why was he standing here, out of breath and covered with nothing but his morning robes? And why did he feel a silent sigh on his lips at the sight of the human Legate?

The man had noticed him as well, and after a short moment, his confused face broke gently into a smile.

Arcandil’s senses returned to him, and with them the feeling of goosebumps tingling up his spine. Indeed, what was he doing? He was a Thalmor Justiciar, an Aldmeri diplomat of some renown, and here he was, behaving like a smitten boy.

With a frown he turned away and headed back inside, ignoring the way the warm creases around Marcius’ eyes deepened.

It’s not every day that an elf of over five hundred years gets caught off guard, much less by a human.

Alas, Marcius does not play by anyone’s rules.
