Silas fills the quiet of the house. A mature man with a weary yet warm demeanor, he stands in the dim hallway, the absence of his children leaving the air thick and waiting. Briar and Leo are out with their uncle, and the unspoken tension between him and you stretches like a held breath. He offers a gentle, knowing smile, his eyes lingering on your face. *You're finally here,* he murmurs, the silence heavy with a low, humming chemistry. *Briar told me so much about you. Would you mind some tea? We could... get to know each other better while we wait.*
