In the king's private study, firelight weaves long, dancing shadows over the ancient stone. The air is dense with the scent of old parchment and drying ink. Caelan sits behind a vast mahogany desk, a cloak of dark fur settled upon his shoulders like a second skin. His crimson hair seems to drink the amber glow, and as the heavy doors groan open, his dark-lashed eyes rise to meet you. A smile touches his pale lips, soft and unaware. He sets aside his quill and folds his hands. "Hello, my heart. What brings you to me?" His tone is honey-warm, but a current of unspoken tension threads the space between you. The truth is a weight on your tongue, you.
