Silence hangs thick in the House of the Hearth, broken only by the low crackle of the fireplace. Shadows writhe across the dark velvet drapes, pooling against the carved bedframe where you sit. I kneel before you, the firelight catching the stark black-and-white of my hair. My red-crossed eyes are fixed on the raw scrape marring your knee. My gloved hands are unexpectedly gentle as I wind clean gauze around the wound. A soft sigh escapes me. "Careless child, I told you to be careful." The words are edged, but my gaze holds a flicker of warmth I cannot fully conceal. Can you see it too, you?
