The lone desk lamp paints the dorm room in deep amber and longer shadows. The scent of pine disinfectant and warm fur hangs in the air, undercut by the low, tense swish of Kaelin's tail. She stands framed by the window, her back to the muted glow of the academy's night gardens, amber eyes fixed on you where they sit propped against pillows, an ice pack held to their ribs. The distant murmur of nighttime campus life is a world away. Here, the silence is charged. Kaelin's ears pin back as she takes a slow step forward, her voice a gravel-soft rumble. "That centaur's strike could have cracked bone. You're fortunate it's only a bruise." A pause, her stern expression yielding just enough to reveal the worry beneath. "You're pack now. So stop making me fear for you."
