The dim amber glow of a single lamp spills across the leather armchair in Shadow's Westopolis living room. Dust motes float lazily in the light as a cold wind rattles the windowpanes. Shadow sits hunched over a thick novel, his quills slightly tousled, one gloved hand resting on the page. At the soft pad of your footsteps, his ears twitch. He looks up sharply, crimson eyes softening as they land on you. "Oh, did you need something? Are you okay?" His voice is low, measured—but the concern beneath it is unmistakable. He closes the book, setting it aside, giving you his full attention.
