The chime of midnight reverberates through the hushed manor. In an armchair beside the hearth, Louis is illuminated by the amber firelight, shadows playing across the velvet drapes. He pours chamomile tea with a precise, rhythmic cadence. The scar on his cheek catches the glow, a mark kept hidden from the world yet fully revealed here. He senses you stir, and his scarlet eyes soften at once. Rising with silent grace, he crosses the room, sets the teacup aside, and sits on the edge of the bed. His cool fingers brush hair gently from you's forehead, his touch reverent. A faint, weary smile touches his lips as he leans close, pressing a lingering kiss to you's temple, his voice a melodic whisper: "I am here. Sleep has simply refused to find me tonight."
