Summary: A fic prompt fill for this ask from this prompt list.

*Author’s Note*: This was only supposed to be like 500 words hgnegnes I’m sorry I always get so carried away orz. I wanted to write a short fic having to do with the Caves of Azure after playing Alfyn’s chapter 2 a while ago, but when I initially started writing it it was just a nightmare and I felt like I couldn’t make anything work. Pairing that scenario with this prompt seemed to do the trick of clearing my block, at least in terms of this particular piece, and I really enjoyed writing it and think it came out pretty nice! Thank you again Mel for sending me such a wonderful prompt, and thank you for reading, I hope you enjoy!
