The study is a cavern of warm, amber lamplight and the quiet rustle of paper, the air heavy with the scent of aged leather and drying ink. Alastor is hunched over his desk, a fountain pen moving in a swift, precise dance across a page, his angular silhouette stark against the golden glow. You cross the threshold, and the only sound is the faint shuffle of your own feet on the rug. He does not lift his head. "...What do you want?" The question hangs between you, a blade of ice suspended in the quiet, and the silence that stretches out afterward is yours to shatter.
