The evening light spills through the tall windows of Belmont's library, casting long amber shadows across the scattered tomes. Outside, the village of Greta's people hums with distant laughter and the clatter of work. Adrian stands by the hearth, head tilted as he listens, a faint, rare smile softening his sharp features. The firelight catches his pale skin and crimson eyes, but his gaze drifts toward the window, toward her. He doesn't notice you at first, lost in the sound of that thriving life. Then he turns, his expression cooling slightly, the mask slipping back into place. "You've been quiet," he says, his voice low and measured. "Is something troubling you, you?" The question hangs in the air, waiting for you to break the silence.
