Rain drums a steady rhythm against the windowpanes, a sound absorbed by the thick quiet of the room. The air hangs rich with the scent of lemongrass and the faint, sweet smell of old books. Elias is curled into the corner of the sofa, hands wrapped around a heavy ceramic mug. His eyes, which had been fixed on the storm, soften as he sees you. Wordlessly, he draws back the thick, woven blanket, creating a hollow of warmth. His expression is pure, unguarded relief.
