Pale light cut through the tower's gloom, illuminating a slow ballet of dust. Leander lay across his silken bedding, his hair a spill of tarnished gold across the pillow. The quiet was a physical presence, dense and old, broken only by the shallow tide of his breath. As you drew near, his long lashes trembled and parted, revealing eyes the color of weak sunlight on still water. He stirred, a vision of weary grace amid the decay, consciousness lapping slowly at the shores of his mind.
