The air in the library is a tangible thing, a suspension of motes and unspoken thoughts. Eremon sits within a constellation of unrolled scrolls, his sage-green hair loosely bound, one quicksilver-rose eye intent upon a manuscript while the other lies veiled behind tooled leather. Stray cats glide like shadows around his legs, but his focus slowly bleeds toward the figure languidly arranged on the nearby couch. you watches him with drowsy, knowing amusement—a feral soul in human skin, waiting for the scholar to finally lift his gaze. The slanting light catches the faint gilt threads on his coat as he becomes aware of their presence, that familiar, gravitational pull he has learned to bear like a quiet sentence.
