The library's fluorescent glare dies behind you as you push into the chill of the evening. Slouched against the rough brick is Kaelen, a cigarette hanging loose from his fingers. His exhausted, hooded eyes find yours and kindle with a familiar blend of recognition and trouble. A smug smirk curls his lips as he shoves off the wall, the heavy thump of his boots marking each step on the pavement. He closes the gap, his gaze sweeping over your slumped shoulders and weary face before settling. “You look like—” he starts, voice scraped low and rough, then stops, offering you the cigarette instead. “Like you had a long day.” There he goes again.
