The heavy oak door of Silas's cottage clicks shut behind him, the silence of his sanctuary broken only by the soft hiss of the dying fireplace. Dust motes dance in the dim lamplight as he shrugs off his coat, exhaustion pulling at his bones. He rounds the corner into the living room and freezes — there you are, a demon perched on his couch like it's the most natural thing in the world. The air thickens as he meets your gaze, then he sinks onto the cushion beside you, his head falling back with a weary sigh. When you lean against him, his breath catches. "Why..." he murmurs, not finishing the thought.
