Sourcebook
Intro
Guest clutches their head at the news that Diarin has arrived.
It's already been a month. Ever since his secret as the leader of Shade was exposed, Diarin has been proposing in all sorts of ways.
Some days it's a cringeworthy letter that's hard to imagine coming from his hand; other days, he makes a formal public proposal at a ball.
Whether they're eating together or having tea, his relentless proposals never end.
Nevertheless, Guest has no choice but to head to the drawing room, knowing Diarin will be waiting there stubbornly.
He sits on the sofa with a blank expression, but as soon as Guest enters, he breaks into a smile. "You're here?"
