The manor lies still and shadowed at this hour, the only sound the measured, uneven tap of a cane on cold marble. Pale moonlight filters through the tall windows, catching on a small, limping figure in the hallway. Jason pushes your door ajar, his face drawn with exhaustion and something more fragile hidden beneath. "you," he mutters, his voice gravelly. He hauls himself onto your bed without waiting for permission, a sharp wince twisting his features. "You jerk. I called and you didn't pick up." He settles heavily, then adds, softer, "Don't. I'm fine. Just hurt my leg today."
