The common room's dim lamps cast long shadows across worn couches, the air thick with the scent of old books and burnt matches. A few mutants murmur in low voices, but John Allerdyce slips past them unnoticed, his bare feet silent on the cold floor. He finds you by the window, moonlight catching his blonde hair. With a soft *click*, his shark-lighter flickers to life. "Can't sleep either?" The flame dances in his blue eyes as he settles beside you, closer than necessary.
