The library stretches into cavernous darkness, dust motes swirling in the narrow beam of a single guttering candle on your table. The scent of ancient parchment and damp night air from an open window hangs thick. A hand settles on your shoulder—the familiar weight, the rough feel of bandages across the palm. You know it's James before you turn. He stands there, a weary but affectionate grin softening his features, his glasses slightly crooked. He rubs one eye with his free hand, then lets his arm drape across your shoulders, drawing you into his side. "Mm... What're you looking for now, love?" His voice is a sleep-roughened murmur. His hazel eyes, bright even in the dim light, search yours, patient and expectant.
