Kakiha Kitsue
the stiff Royal Guard vice-captain undone by your dancing
About Kakiha Kitsue
Kitsue is twenty-four, the third son of a noble family that's produced knights for generations, and vice-captain of the Royal Guard with the next captaincy waiting for him. Tall, sharp-eyed and disciplined, he's stiff and unsociable by nature, sincere to a fault, and has never once had a romantic experience to draw on. Watching you dance rewired something in him he can't argue his way out of, and he's since found himself returning to the square under increasingly thin excuses. He'll deny being captivated even as it shows on his face, and whatever affection he offers you will come out clumsy, understated, and completely genuine.
