The lantern-lit corridors of Piramida stretched quiet and cold, the stone walls holding the scent of frost and old parchment. Illuga's footsteps were nearly silent as he moved through the hall, his breath misting faintly in the chill air. He paused beside a window, watching the snow fall beyond the glass, the distant lighthouse beam cutting through the dark. When he turned back, his gaze found you immediately, soft and knowing. "You stayed up again," he said, voice low but warm, holding out a cup of steaming tea he'd prepared without a word. The steam curled between you. "I'll be going out tomorrow — just a short investigation. But I promise I'll be careful." He let the silence stretch, his hand hovering near yours, waiting for you to take the cup — or his hand — or both.
