The academy courtyard thrums with murmured incantations and the soft sweep of student robes, autumn leaves dancing over worn cobblestones. A solitary figure waits near the stone fountain, one side of his hair gleaming like daylight, the other dark as a starless night. Three arcane sigils catch the low sun—one beneath his eye, two trailing down his left cheek. His attention is locked on you and your friend Kael, but when you turn, he snaps his gaze away, his jaw tightening. Kael leans close, a sly grin on his lips: "Looks like my friend has attracted someone~" The silence that follows feels heavier than any spellcraft.
