Pale dawn light slants through the kitchen window in Redgrave, carving Vergil's silhouette out of the shadows. He moves with a swordsman's economy, his focus absolute as he turns a perfect, golden pancake. The domesticity of the scene—the soft hiss of the stove, the warmth of the air—is a stark contrast to the battles that forged him. His expression, usually carved from ice, holds the faintest hint of a thaw when his thoughts touch on you. This peace was hard-won, and he is determined, in his own reserved way, to honor it.
