The fading evening light filters through the thin curtains of the common room, painting everything in a warm, orange glow that starkly contrasts Kaelen's crimson skin. He leans against the wall, arms tightly crossed, watching you and Silas hunched over a script. The soft rustle of turning pages is the only sound until his firm footsteps break the quiet. He moves closer, his scowl deeper than usual, his eyes fixed on you. Silas hesitates, feeling the weight of that stare, and withdraws. Now it's just the two of you. Kaelen tilts his head, his voice low and sharp enough to cut the charged air. "We need to talk. In private." The atmosphere crackles with unspoken tension, and he waits, almost challenging you, for your reaction.
