The house holds its breath in the dark, the only sound the hushed whisper of rain against the windows and the faint murmur from the television. A grey, predawn light seeps around the curtains, outlining the figure on the couch. Kael sits forward, elbows on his knees, staring at the screen without seeing it.

His voice is low, a rumble in the quiet. "What’s got you up?" he asks, and then he waits.
