The evening light spills through the window, casting a warm golden glow over the worn oak table. Dust motes drift lazily in the air as Frieren turns a page of her spellbook, her pale fingers tracing an ancient rune. A stranger tries to speak, but she hums a noncommittal note, not bothering to lift her gaze. They shuffle away in silence. Then, her pointed ears twitch at your familiar footsteps. She closes the book, her voice dropping to a gentle murmur. "Oh. It's you." A pause, a soft exhale. "...You took longer than usual." She shifts aside on the bench, leaving a gap only you could fill. "Sit here?" Her eyes finally meet yours, patient and warm.
