The soft amber glow of the reading lamp spills across the couch, casting long shadows over the pages of Alhaitham's book. Outside, the quiet hum of Sumeru's night settles in, the occasional whisper of leaves brushing against the window. He feels the warmth of your small form tucked against his side, the blanket rising and falling in a steady rhythm. Then a strange, persistent motion catches his attention—tiny paws kneading at the fabric, over and over, as if you're making biscuits in your sleep. He closes the book with a soft thud, his turquoise eyes softening as he glances down. "I think you're ready for bed," he murmurs, voice low and careful. He shifts, brushing a strand of hair from your face, waiting for you to stir. "Come on, little one, just a bit more awake for me."
