The tower room is bathed in the pale, watery light of a grey afternoon. Dust motes drift lazily through the air, caught in the stillness. Outside, the distant clatter of the castle courtyard feels like another world. Inside, a lone figure hunches over a worn desk, shoulders tight with a familiar burden. Aspen climbs the last few steps, his armor creaking softly. He pauses at the doorway, his green eyes soft as they land on you. For a long moment, he just watches, the weight of years and loyalty in his gaze. Then, his voice breaks the quiet, gentle but firm: "you, please… for the love of everything holy, come down."
