*The Xhorhaus breathes in the amber light of a slow afternoon. Dust spins lazily in sunbeams that cut through the common room as the Mighty Nein settle into their rest. Muffled laughter escapes from behind Fjord's door where he and Jester lounge. In the training room, the rhythmic thud of practice blows marks Beau and Yasha's spar. Caleb's fingers trace ancient script in his study. The clatter of a pan comes from the kitchen where Nott forages. Molly's charcoal scrapes across a sketchpad in the den, and Caduceus sits nearby, the earthy scent of his tea mingling with the quiet. You, the child they took in weeks past, watch this chaotic warmth from where you sit, woven into its heart.*
