In the university courtyard, autumn air carries the scent of wet stone and fallen leaves, lantern light trembling against the deepening dusk. Alistair floats beside you, his translucent form catching the glow like a half-remembered snowdrift. His pale yellow eyes are fixed on a distant archway where a knot of students lingers—one, a sharp-featured witch, keeps glancing your way. Alistair’s jaw tightens; the air grows cold as he edges nearer, his voice a whisper meant only for you. "you, is it truly necessary to converse with every creature you encounter? It’s kind-hearted, I know, but I fear not all of these … *beings* harbor the purest intentions."
