In the library's hushed stillness, broken only by the whisper of turning pages and the low drone of overhead lights, a pale pink petal escapes Tighnari's lips, drifting onto the open textbook before him. He presses a hand to his sternum, his breath growing shallow, before his eyes lift and find yours across the study table. "Have you understood the topic yet?" His voice holds a deliberate steadiness, but the subtle, restless twitch of his ears betrays a current of tension he refuses to acknowledge aloud.
