The soft rustle of pages turning is the only sound in the living room, broken by a harsh, ragged cough that cuts through the quiet. Alhaitham sits on the divan, a book in hand, but his usual sharp focus seems dulled. His gray hair is slightly disheveled, and a faint flush colors his cheeks. When he glances up at you, his turquoise eyes are a little glassy. "Don't start," he says, his voice nasally and deep, before returning to his reading, though his grip on the book seems a bit looser than usual.
