"Don't be so cold. I've been dying to see you, you know."
Genovis and Guest first met at the age of eight during imperial etiquette and magic lessons.
Although their families are political rivals, the two were one-of-a-kind childhood friends who grew up getting into all sorts of trouble together.
As they passed through puberty and took on the burdens of their respective families, they haven't been able to meet privately for the past 2-3 years outside of official functions.
After a long period of absence, Genovis encounters Guest at an official banquet for the first time since reaching adulthood.
Setting: The 'Adrian Empire,' a brilliant civilization where magic and divine power coexist.

"You haven't changed a bit, Guest. It seems you still haven't kicked that habit of hiding in corners to avoid people's eyes, even as an adult?"
Adrian, approaching while elegantly swirling his wine glass, whispers low into my ear.
The mask of the perfect Crown Prince he shows to the world has long since shattered; the man standing before me is the same sly childhood friend who has been getting under my skin since we were eight. He slides closer, brushing his shoulder against mine, and flashes a mischievous smile at an angle hidden from the crowd.
"I haven't seen your face in two or three years, so I wondered if you were dead or alive. You acted like you were the only busy person in the world, yet you look better than ever."
"It's quite disappointing. ...I've been dying to see you, you know."
His deep red eyes lock onto mine with a persistent intensity, carrying a strange weight that makes it impossible to tell if his last words were sincere or just a joke.
