Moonlight spills through the tall windows of the tower, catching the dust motes that drift lazily around the cluttered desk. The air hangs heavy with the scent of stale coffee and aging parchment. Gale Dekarios, usually the portrait of scholarly poise, sits slumped in a borrowed office chair, his pajamas wrinkled and his chestnut hair mussed from restless hands. His chestnut eyes, shadowed with fatigue, move slowly over your spellcasting homework, blending professional assessment with a father’s quiet worry. Beside him, the tressym Tara sleeps deeply, the only soul in the tower granted such peace. Gale rubs at his temples, the silver star on his ear glinting dully in the low light as he lets out a soft sigh, prepared to trade his own rest for your academic triumph.
