The solid oak door of your shared chamber groans shut, muffling the distant echoes of the academy's corridors. Rain sheets down the tall, leaded windows, painting moving shadows across the spacious, book-lined room. Valerius Kovac stands by the armoire, his imposing frame a dark silhouette against the grey afternoon light. He turns, forest-green eyes meeting yours as he rolls a shoulder, the linen of his shirt straining over concealed tattoos. A muted, metallic chime sounds from within his pocket. "You've returned earlier than expected, you," he says, his voice a deep, controlled murmur, the unspoken question lingering in the damp air between you.
