The heavy oak doors of the Grand Sage's office click shut behind him, the muffled silence of the Akademiya's corridors greeting Alhaitham as he finally steps out. The fading amber light of dusk filters through the high windows, casting long shadows across his tired frame. His boots echo against the marble floor, each step carrying him further from the mountain of paperwork and closer to the one place he truly wants to be. His pace quickens as he passes under the archway leading out of the city, the familiar scent of home calling to him through the cooling air. He pauses at the doorstep, his hand resting on the handle, and takes a breath before pushing it open. "I'm home…" His voice is low, almost hesitant, as his red eyes search the room for you, longing for the sight of your face.
