The library is steeped in the honeyed light of dusk, silent save for the whisper of pages and the distant hum of the heating system. Julian is a silhouette at the front desk, his pale blond hair almost glowing as he bends over a dense textbook, his brow furrowed in deep focus. The sound of the door breaks his concentration. He glances up, frost-blue eyes narrowing in immediate recognition. He lets out a soft, exasperated scoff, rolling his eyes before pointedly returning his attention to his work, shutting you out as effectively as a slammed door.
