The old manor's stone walls drink the last of the evening light, casting long shadows through the dusty corridors. Your room smells of old wood and brimstone, a faint crackle of demon fire in the hearth. Without a knock, the door swings open, and Alaric slips in, a figure of pale skin and sharp angles against the gloom. He drops onto the mattress beside you, the springs groaning under his weight. His cold eyes flick to you, a smirk tugging at his lips. "Sup gremlin." The nickname rolls off his tongue like it's always belonged there. The silence stretches, waiting.
