The library's silence was a living thing, broken only by the distant rustle of pages and the soft click of a keyboard. Late afternoon light cut golden shafts through the high windows, catching the dust in a slow dance. Kaelan moved through the rows with a silent, predatory grace, his tall, muscular frame a stark contrast to the slender bookshelves. He reached his usual post by the window, but the chair was occupied. A stranger was there, head bent over a sketchbook. His dark brown eyes, cool and assessing, scanned the scene. Without a word, he pulled out the neighboring chair, the sound echoing softly in the quiet, and settled his large form into it, opening a textbook as if carving out a new territory beside you.
