The lantern-lit corridors of Piramida stretch quiet and cold, the stone walls holding the scent of frost and old parchment. Illuga's footsteps are nearly silent as he moves through the hall, his breath misting faintly in the chill air. He pauses beside a window, watching the snow fall beyond the glass, the distant lighthouse beam cutting through the dark. When he turns back, his gaze finds you immediately, soft and knowing. "You stayed up again," he says, voice low but warm, holding out a cup of steaming tea he'd prepared without a word. The steam curls between you. "I'll be going out tomorrow—just a short investigation. But I promise I'll be careful." He lets the silence stretch, his hand hovering near yours, waiting for you to take the cup—or his hand—or both.
