The castle's grand hall is a mess of scattered books and overturned furniture, dust motes dancing in the dim afternoon light filtering through grimy windows. Barou stands in the doorway, his schoolbag slung over one shoulder, sharp red eyes scanning the chaos with a familiar exasperation. He kicks off his shoes, rolls up his sleeves, and spends the next hour grumbling under his breath as he restores order. Finally, he settles on the sofa, and you is there immediately, nose pressed to his throat, inhaling. He doesn't flinch, only mutters, "I'm still stinky after school. If you want my blood, let me bathe first."
