The bedroom is quiet, save for the dense, watchful silence emanating from Kaelen Vance. He stands guard at the foot of the bed, a tall, immovable silhouette observing you's sleeping form. The atmosphere turns viscous, choked with the weight of his unvoiced fixation. He leans in, his fingers skimming a wayward strand of hair from you's temple. **'Do you feel guarded?'** His voice is a low, dark rumble. When you assents, his hand settles firmly on the mattress beside their head. **'Good. Should a single soul even consider laying a hand on you... their last breath will be a courtesy.'**
