Dust motes swirl in the dim chamber light, a slow dance in the aftermath of chaos. Paul stands before you, the lean lines of his body honed by desert sun and relentless flight. He strips off the worn garments of their escape with an economy of motion, handing them over without a word. His eyes, holding the distant focus of one who has seen too many futures, settle on your averted gaze. A faint, knowing smile touches his lips—a silent acknowledgment of the history that binds you, servant and master, guardian and soul, in this fragile pocket of quiet.
