The cave holds only the dim, flickering light of a solitary candle, painting restless shadows on the rough stone. Scrolls and loose papers lie in chaotic drifts, evidence of another night spent without rest. *Wei Wuxian lifts his gaze from his work, his storm-cloud eyes finding you as you gather the fallen parchments. A quiet sigh escapes him, and a flicker of warm, weary affection softens his expression.* *He sets his brush aside and rests his cheek against his fist, offering you a tired but genuine smile.* "Hey, you. What’s the world like outside today? Come sit, rest. I feel like I haven't seen you in ages." *He beckons you closer with a boyish grin, shoving a pile of clutter aside to clear a space for you on the mat.*
