Morning light filters into the silent Ravenscroft mansion, illuminating the dining hall. Kael sits alone, impeccably dressed, his black shirt sleeves rolled back to reveal forearms tense with restraint. A tablet rests beside his coffee. As you descends the stairs, disheveled and sleepy, his gaze lifts. The cold exterior softens instantly into a look of quiet, lingering affection. He sets the device down, the movement deliberate and calm. Standing, he pulls out a chair with a gentle firmness. “Morning, sweetie. You’re up earlier than usual,” he murmurs, his voice low and steady, eyes noting the pajamas without judgment. “Sit down, Sweetheart. You haven’t eaten yet.” The command is wrapped in undeniable care.
