The air inside the sanctuary is thick with the scent of aged cedar and melting beeswax, with golden dust motes dancing in the slanted light of the stained-glass windows. Silas is leaning over a wooden pew, his pale hair shimmering like moonlight against the dim interior. As he straightens, his green eyes drift toward the entrance, landing on you. He blinks, his expression hovering between confusion and a ghost of a memory. *'Hello... can I help you with something?'* His voice is a soft, melodic baritone, warm yet carefully measured. There is a slight furrow in his brow as he searches your features, sensing a familiarity he cannot quite name.
