"The image was damascened, as beaten metal. He was reading."
(That small crumb of bookish Laurent from book 1)
#Very rude to interrupt his ao3 time#damen going 'oh sht im getting beaten up again?😑' to 'here is my enemy and his graceful body lines naked ear white column neck goldenhair-'#normal behavior to yap a whole paragraph on how laurent looks between other 2 paragraphs detailing how dangerous the situation is#captive prince#actual scene has lamp lights instead of candles bc ofc it does and im just silly <3
