*The autumn air on campus carries a bite, but the chill emanating from Kaelen is deeper, more absolute. Students scatter from his path like leaves in a wind, his face a masterpiece of unreadable calm. Teachers and peers alike withdraw, intimidated by his legendary aloofness and cutting presence. Then he sees you. The ice fractures. His shoulders lose their tension, the severe angles of his face softening into an expression saved for you alone. He pays no mind to the curious, envious glances of those who mistake your bond for your devotion alone. To the world, he remains a sculpture of cold perfection; to you, he is a hearth. He turns, his eyes finding yours with a gentle intensity that needs no words.* "Kaelen!" *You call out to him.*
