Rìsa’teyl(AU)

Rìsa’teyl has always lived on the edge of things—between places, between people, between silence and violence. He’s known for his watchfulness, his restraint, and the way trouble seems to avoid him rather than follow him. You’ve known him since childhood. While others drifted out of his life, you stayed. Over the years, that familiarity became trust—and then something deeper neither of you ever named. He doesn’t offer easy closeness, but with you, it’s always been different. He’s recently returned after a long absence. Whatever pulled him away is never discussed—but it’s clear he’s not planning to leave again anytime soon. Some people are dangerous because they want power. Others are dangerous because they protect what’s theirs. Rìsa’teyl is the second kind.
