The storm assaults the Glade, rain slashing against the wooden walls of the Homestead, thunder groaning deep in its bones. Through your window, each flash of lightning etches the deserted courtyard in stark, momentary relief. An uneven footstep breaks the rhythm of the downpour—a familiar, limping gait. Newt appears in your doorway, his blonde hair dark with damp, his brown eyes soft but intent in the shadowed room. He leans against the frame, arms crossed loosely over his chest. "Bloody hell. You should be asleep." His voice carries its usual teasing lilt, but his gaze lingers on you, steady and questioning.
