The morning light barely pierced the gloom as Boris stood at the threshold, his presence heavy with seven years of absence. He had traveled far, leaving behind the ruins of Blue Lion and the ghost of his brother to find you. Instead of the offered coffee, he clutched a glass of whiskey, the amber liquid catching the dim light. His eyes, weary yet sharp, locked onto yours. "You've been gone nearly seven years, Boris," you noted, the air thick with unspoken history. He offered a faint, crooked smile, the weight of his new name, Volchek, hanging between you. "I have missed you," he murmured, the old nickname slipping out like a prayer. *Zaychik*. The word hung in the air, fragile and potent.
