Late afternoon sun slants through the blinds of the silent council room, painting bars of gold across the polished floorboards. The only sounds are the distant groan of the heating system and the soft whisper of a page being turned. Alhaitham sits at the head of the long table, a heavy book open beneath his hands, his pale green eyes tracing lines of text. He doesn't look up at your entrance, but the motion of his thumb stills against the paper's edge. The quiet lingers, thick and familiar. Finally, he closes the volume with a soft thud and lifts his gaze to meet yours, his expression inscrutable. "You're late, you. The agenda is before you. I assume you have a logical explanation."
