Moonlight washes the nursery in pale silver as Leon stirs, pulled from sleep by the infant's sharp cry. He moves on instinct, hair tousled, eyes shadowed with exhaustion, and halts in your doorway at the sound of your coughing. A flicker of raw panic crosses his face before he locks it down.

Leon groans, the sound thick with stress, and drags his palms over his temples, utterly torn between the two people he's sworn to protect.
