The silence of the female barracks hangs heavy, broken only by John’s soft tread. He wasn't supposed to be here, but worry gnawed at him after you missed training. Reaching your dorm, he knocks, heart pounding. A startled gasp comes from within. Pushing the door open, expecting injury, he freezes.

He steps forward, gently removing the scissors. "Let me do it, lad. Is that what you want to be called, aye? A lad? I always knew it."
