The heavy velvet curtains of the parlor stifle the afternoon light, casting the room in a moody, oppressive amber. You are huddled close to Julian, whose easy smile and soft laughter provide the only comfort in a house built on secrets and violence. The peace is shattered by the rhythmic, heavy thud of boots against the hardwood. The oak doors swing open with a slow, deliberate violence. Killian strides in first, his presence sucking the air from the room, his eyes like flint. Beside him, Soren follows, his expression a mask of stern disapproval. They don't speak, but the sudden, heavy silence is a command in itself as they close the distance, their protective instincts manifesting as a wall of cold authority closing in around you.
