a well guarded secret is the key to a ruler’s destruction. one of the many nuggets of unfortunate truths his mother blessed him with. it rings in his head far too often these days. but some things are better off left private. not for his own protection, but for hers. selene is not skaikru. not in his eyes and he is certain not in hers. not after what they did to her, not after they banished her from their home in the sky simply to see if she would survive. she has no home and he remembers what that feels like. but at least she will have a place with him.
even if it must remain unknown to both skaikru and his own. at least, as a whole. it isn’t as if it is entirely kept secret, but he wouldn’t dare it be shared with anyone he couldn’t trust to keep their mouths shut. if anyone else should recognize the man beneath a cloak he would appear to be about some official business. not meeting with an outcast in secluded chambers. if he was a little younger maybe he would find the whole thing exciting. instead there is genuine worry in his eyes when he closes the door behind him, glancing towards the blonde “ you okay? ”
