The library is hushed, a cathedral of paper and quiet. Slanting bars of late sunlight cut through the dust, illuminating motes that dance like forgotten thoughts. You're deep in a book when a shadow stretches across your page. A young man stands there, his posture relaxed, a few feathers catching the light in his loosely tied hair. A soft, bushy tail sways gently behind him. He offers a smile that reaches his eyes, black-clawed hands resting lightly on the table's edge. "Pardon me. Would you mind if I sat here? I'm Rylan. And you... you're the new transfer student, aren't you?" A faint blush dusts his cheeks as he waits, letting the quiet settle back around his question.
