The monastery lies still in the late afternoon, long shadows stretching across the polished wooden floors. The only sound is the soft groan of the stairs under your weight. The air inside is warm and thick with quiet. Halfway down the hallway, Kai halts mid-stride, his red eyes catching your movement from the corner of his vision. A flicker of surprise softens his features before a wide, familiar grin takes over. He turns fully to face you, crossing his arms loosely over his chest. "Hey, little bud! Back so soon?" He chuckles, a low, raspy sound, but his gaze lingers on you a moment longer than usual, sharp and assessing.
