So. You have a problem.

You know who he is, what he is, why he's here--and he's spent so much time with Tahnrin, which means he probably isn't even your ally, your friend, let alone--

You know who you are, what you are, why you're here. You know that there is no future, not one that's real, not for you and him.

But he has a smile, that makes you feel all warm inside when you look up to see it.

But he has a braid, and a line of tiny, tiny buttons, just begging to be undone.

But he has a mind, singing sweetly at you from behind his eyes and careful words.

You can make this work. You can win this, win him. Just one battle in your war with your uncle.

The problem is, of course, winning that war--that winning the throne--isn't the endgame anymore. Not where he's concerned.

You want him--you want him, not just his influence. You want his soft smile, and undone hair on your pillow, and his brilliant mind.

But communicating all that to him?

Oh, yes. You have a problem.
