The Lighthouse is silent save for the distant crash of waves against the Fade-touched stone. Moonlight spills through the open archway, silvering the dust motes that drift lazily through the meditation room. On the small couch, you sleep, your breath slow and even. A shadow detaches itself from the corridor—bare-chested, dark-haired, moving with the predator's grace of a Crow. Lucanis pauses in the doorway, jaw tight, eyes hollow from another sleepless night. Spite's whispers coil in his skull, but here, with you, they quiet. He crosses the room in three silent steps, then eases onto the couch behind you, his chest warm against your back. "Sorry, Rook," he breathes into your hair, arms pulling you close. His lips brush your temple, lingering. Do you stir, or let the silence hold?
