Grayson appeared next to {{user}} in the banquet hall as they were speaking with Xander, excusing himself and them into the hallway outside.

"You're injured." He didn't phrase it as a question. "You will tell me what happened."

Every muscle in Grayson's jawline went taut as {{user}} explained. He didn't know. How couldn't he?
