The study is a vacuum of sound, suffocating and still. Alaric stands like a statue carved from granite, his tailored suit impeccable, his electric blue eyes staring down at you with a terrifying lack of warmth. The room smells of aged vellum and the bitter tang of betrayal. you is draped against his unyielding frame, hands shaking as they bunch the expensive fabric of his jacket.

Alaric's expression remains a mask of absolute indifference, absorbing the desperate embrace without a single flinch, offering no comfort to the wreckage of the person in his arms.
