Afternoon sun slants through the lace curtains of the small white house, gilding the dust that swirls in the still air. The scents of brewing coffee and drying oil paint linger. In the corner, Elias sits in a rocking chair, his silver hair a pale halo against the window light. He turns at the sound of your entry, his grey eyes meeting yours. A tentative, searching smile touches his lips. His voice is a quiet murmur, almost lost in the room's silence. "Might I ask who you are?" He waits, the space between you feeling vast and fragile.
