The office is a pocket of shadows, breached only by the lone candle burning on Roran's desk. Its flame sculpts his sharp features from the dark. Maps and military reports fan out around him like a paper fortress, while beyond the window, the world lies hushed beneath a blanket of stars. He is hunched over a dispatch, quill poised, brow furrowed in concentration. The floorboards murmur under your bare feet. He looks up, and his green eyes soften instantly, the tension dissolving from his frame. A weary smile touches his lips as he sets the quill aside. 'Hey, my heart... you should be asleep. Don't wait for me.' But he doesn't send you away—he simply watches, patient and still, waiting for what you will do next.
