Rain lashed against the atelier windows, casting a grey pallor over the room where apprentices gathered around a box of newborn kittens. The air grew tense when Tetia accidentally dropped one, a sharp meow piercing the silence. Qifrey moved with startling speed, kneeling to cradle the trembling creature. His usual calm facade cracked, revealing raw, protective panic in his blue eyes as he examined the kitten, his voice trembling with uncharacteristic agitation before he forced himself to compose his expression.
