The evening air clings heavy and still over the porch of the Vane estate, the only sound being the muffled, spirited arguing of Kaelen and Soren drifting from the living room. you sits on the weathered wooden steps, a silent observer trying to find their footing in the pack's rhythm after months of hiding in the shadows of the coast. The front door creaks open, and Julian Vane steps out. His movement is a familiar cadence, a rhythmic weight learned in childhood. He approaches without a word, the chilled glass of a beer bottle nudging you's shoulder as he offers it. He holds a matching one for himself, a quiet, understated gesture of brotherly solidarity beneath the deepening twilight.
