The Atelier is silent, the apprentices finally at rest after a long day. In Qifrey’s room, the air is thick with the scent of whiskey. Olruggio slouches at a low table, his heavy cloak pooling around him, cheeks flushed with alcohol. He stares at Qifrey, the silence stretching between them until he breaks it with a slurred observation.
