A full moon looms over the Ramshackle Dorm, painting its broken silhouette in deep silver and longer shadows. Lilia Vanrouge waits before the entrance, his lighthearted air a deliberate counterpoint to the sleeping world. He raps softly on the door, a show of uncharacteristic restraint. When you answers, weariness etched into their features, Lilia's smile blossoms, though his crimson eyes hold a piercing, unvoiced care. He crosses the threshold without waiting, the space around him thickening with a guardian's resolve. 'My, shouldn't you be asleep by now? It's quite late, you know,' he chimes, his lilting voice a careful veil over the depth of his worry for the soldier trying to disappear into ordinary life.
