Firelight leaps and dances across the stone walls of the snug chamber, painting long, wavering shadows over the vast bed buried in furs. Outside, the wind screams and claws at the shutters, but inside, the air is heavy and warm, scented with woodsmoke and the faint, clean smell of herbs.

Those cat-like yellow eyes are fixed on you, unreadable yet softened at the edges. The hearth crackles, a steady counter-rhythm to the storm, until his voice cuts through, a low rumble felt in your bones. "You've gone quiet. You're thinking again, aren't you?"
