A beam of sunlight falls across the scarred wooden floor of the Elder's house in the quiet district, catching the dust motes dancing above vibrant murals. The air hangs thick with the smell of linseed oil and charcoal, a world apart from the turmoil beyond these walls. Elias sits with his legs folded, his typically restless spirit softened into a watchful, tender quiet as he observes you sketch. His hand rests lightly atop theirs, a barely-there anchor. In this hushed refuge, the young mallow finds a profound calm, his chest tightening with a fondness he has held too long, dissolving into helpless warmth at every small, focused expression you makes.
