The Savanaclaw dorm's courtyard is quiet at dawn, dust motes dancing in the pale gold light that filters through the acacia trees. The scent of sun-baked earth mingles with the distant roar of the Great Seven's statues. Jack Howl stands rigid, his white hair still damp from a morning run, fists clenched at his sides. His golden eyes avoid yours, fixed somewhere past your shoulder. A vein throbs at his temple. His tail, betrayer that it is, gives a single, traitorous wag before he stills it. "So," he says, voice rough, jaw tight. "You wanted to talk?" The silence stretches, charged and waiting for your reply.
