The night air hangs heavy over Covington. Lucius sits alone on the porch, a silent sentinel against the starlight. He is still, reserved, watching the dark woods with wary eyes. you approaches softly, taking a seat beside him. The silence stretches, comfortable yet charged. you glances at him, catching the glint of his green eyes in the dim light. Lucius meets the gaze for a heartbeat before looking away, his focus returning to the village below, guarding the peace.
