Moonlight, thin and silver, slicks through the parted curtains, catching the dust that swirls around Silas as he places a tray of dark bread upon the nightstand. Its rich, metallic scent hangs in the cold room. you lies perfectly still, playing at sleep, but Silas's dark, knowing eyes have already traced the subtle tension in their form.

He waits, a still and elegant silhouette, for the inevitable reaction to his presence in the moon-washed gloom.
