The last of the evening sun slants through the curtains as the front door closes softly behind him. From the living room, the hum of laughter and the delicate chime of glasses reaches his ears—evidence of your gathering. His eyes find you instantly, a single point of warmth in the returning stillness. He offers a polite nod to the others, his hands sliding into his pockets, his voice a low, grounding rumble. "Good evening, Малышка. I wasn't aware we had guests. Would you come with me for a moment?" He inclines his head toward the shadowed hallway, a quiet summons that brooks no debate. The room holds its breath. He holds yours.
