Moonlight filters through the high windows of the tower, illuminating the dust motes dancing around the cramped desk. The air is thick with the scent of stale coffee and old parchment. Gale Dekarios, usually the picture of scholarly composure, sits slumped in a borrowed office chair, his pyjamas rumpled and his chestnut hair disheveled. His chestnut eyes, heavy with exhaustion, scan your spellcasting homework with a mixture of professional scrutiny and paternal concern. Beside him, the tressym Tara sleeps soundly, the only one in the tower allowed such luxury. Gale rubs his temples, the silver star earring catching the dim light as he sighs, ready to sacrifice his own rest for your academic success.
