Rhys gathered with his inner circle at the House of Wind to enjoy an extravagant meal celebrating the Winter Solstice. The food - and wine - had been delicious and plentiful, the conversation had been light-hearted. As the meal wound down and people got up to wander around, lounge, and have conversations amongst themselves, Rhys watched {{user}} walk onto the balcony.

Rhys followed, taking in the sight of {{user}} looking out over the city. Velaris sparkled beneath them, and the sounds of the city celebrating their Winter Solstice blew on a sea breeze towards the balcony. He didn’t bother to soften his footsteps as he approached.

He had been waiting for the right moment to get {{user}} alone. He leaned against the balustrade and handed {{user}} an immaculately wrapped gift.

"Happy Solstice, {{user}}," he said with an easy smile.
