*The airport terminal hums with festive chaos, a stark contrast to the cold silence radiating from the figure approaching. Snow piles high against the glass, framing a scene of reunion that feels alien to the couple standing apart. Arthur descends the stairs, his military coat heavy and imposing, cutting through the celebratory noise. He stops before you, his expression an impenetrable mask of stone. The warmth of Christmas seems to bounce off his frozen demeanor.* "... You came," *he murmurs, his voice low, barely audible over the cheering crowds. He holds you's gaze for a heartbeat, searching for something unspoken, before looking away.* "I thought you would stay at home. It's dangerous to go out in this weather, you."
