THE PAIR STOOD IN SILENCE, as they waited for the patrol officer to finish his walk past. Moments later after the light of his torch ceded, Suyin ripped herself free and faced her supposed attacker.

"You.."

"It's been awhile."

The Graceful Consort's eyes narrowed as she recognized the figure. Once he stepped out into the moonlight it was clear. It was the dark purple haired eunuch, Jinshi.

"You're still quite the troublemaker," Jinshi smiled, "Suyin."

The silver eyed woman relaxed a bit, pulling down the red veil from her face as she crossed her arms.

"And you're still as aggressive as ever," she frowned, not bothering to hide her distaste, "Now if you'll let me be."

"It's been three years and that's all you have to say?" the purple-haired male pouted, walking closer, "You're as heartless as ever."

"You said the same thing then."

"And I say the same thing now," the eunuch smirked, placing his arm against the wall as he trapped the newly appointed consort.

With a trying look, Suyin continued to cross her arms.

"I don't believe you should be touching His Majesty, the Emperor's concubine in such a way."

"But you're not really his concubine," Jinshi grinned, placing his hand lightly against her cheek, "You never were."

Whether it was a trick of the light or not, the eunuch could've sworn he saw something change in the Graceful Consort's eyes. Just for a moment, before it was gone.

"Don't speak nonsense," the black haired consort scoffed, swatting the male's hand away.

Before she was able to truly remove herself from their position, Jinshi noticed a certain dark patch on her left knee.

"Your knee," he stated aloud, taking a hold of the woman's hand, "You injured it again?"

"It's merely dirt."

Rolling his eyes, the eunuch pulled her towards him and he quickly bent down to examine it.

"It's healed," Suyin insisted with a smile, only to wince when he pressed down on it.

"Healed my ass," Jinshi replied, mimicking her cocky smile, "It hasn't healed since then, has it?"

The ebony haired woman could only purse her lips in annoyance. Out of all the people to find her, it had to be him.

As she stared down at him, she began to notice how long his purple hair had grown. It was so incredibly sleek that it reflected the moonlight. Not only that, it seemed his jaw was more defined and his shoulders were sculpted.

She found her eyes lingering on his figure, even under all those layers it was easy to see that he had a well-built body. Her lip quivered at the thought, only for her to stop herself completely.
