CHAPTER 4 - BALANCE AND TRUST

The training hall echoed with the rhythmic thud of Rhea’s boots hitting the mats
She moved through her drills with precision
Lucien stood quietly in the corner, watching. His eyes narrowed as he observed her form
The tension in her shoulders, the slight imbalance in her footing
Without a word, he stepped forward
Lucien D’Arcavo Delacroix (ML)
Lucien D’Arcavo Delacroix (ML)
You’re off (Says Softly)
Rhea Virelis (FL)
Rhea Virelis (FL)
(Blinks, startled)
Lucien D’Arcavo Delacroix (ML)
Lucien D’Arcavo Delacroix (ML)
Your stance — too narrow.
Lucien D’Arcavo Delacroix (ML)
Lucien D’Arcavo Delacroix (ML)
You’re putting too much weight on your back foot.
Lucien D’Arcavo Delacroix (ML)
Lucien D’Arcavo Delacroix (ML)
It throws off your balance
He moved beside her, close enough that his arm brushed hers as he demonstrated
His hand settled lightly on her hip, guiding her weight forward
Lucien D’Arcavo Delacroix (ML)
Lucien D’Arcavo Delacroix (ML)
Like this (Voice low)
She felt the subtle heat of his touch, steady and sure, not invasive but firm
Her breath hitched. It was a simple correction — but the intimacy of it unsettled her
Lucien D’Arcavo Delacroix (ML)
Lucien D’Arcavo Delacroix (ML)
(Gaze holding hers, calm and patient)
Lucien D’Arcavo Delacroix (ML)
Lucien D’Arcavo Delacroix (ML)
Relax your shoulders. Breathe. Control the power, don’t force it
Rhea Virelis (FL)
Rhea Virelis (FL)
(Tries again, slower this time, more deliberate)
Lucien D’Arcavo Delacroix (ML)
Lucien D’Arcavo Delacroix (ML)
Better (Small nod)
They moved together through the sequence. His hands corrected, his voice steady
Lucien D’Arcavo Delacroix (ML)
Lucien D’Arcavo Delacroix (ML)
It’s not just strength, It’s control. Flow. You know that
Rhea Virelis (FL)
Rhea Virelis (FL)
I do (Whispers)
A silence fell between them, comfortable and strange
Lucien D’Arcavo Delacroix (ML)
Lucien D’Arcavo Delacroix (ML)
I’ve watched you fight, You’re fierce — but sometimes I see you holding back
Rhea Virelis (FL)
Rhea Virelis (FL)
(Doesn't answer)
Lucien D’Arcavo Delacroix (ML)
Lucien D’Arcavo Delacroix (ML)
Why? (Presses gently)
Rhea Virelis (FL)
Rhea Virelis (FL)
(Eyes flickers away) Because I don't trust easily
Lucien D’Arcavo Delacroix (ML)
Lucien D’Arcavo Delacroix (ML)
(Smiles understandingly)
Lucien D’Arcavo Delacroix (ML)
Lucien D’Arcavo Delacroix (ML)
Trust isn’t given. It’s earned. And I’m willing to earn it
Rhea inhaled, steadying herself. She wasn’t used to this—this closeness
But she didn’t push him away
