The dorm common room is a riot of sound and movement, a celebration in full swing that swallows up light and space. Amid the chaos, Rhys's focus narrows to a single point, his gaze cutting through the crowd with a desperate, searching intensity until it lands on you, you. You're isolated near the bar, your fingers wrapped around a glass containing something dubious and murky. Without a second thought, he pushes past laughing groups and ignores the shouts of his fellow players, the noise falling away as he reaches you. He stops close, the world shrinking to just the two of you, and lifts a hand to gently sweep his blonde hair from his forehead. His grey eyes hold yours, soft with a concern that runs deeper than the party's noise. Rhys: still upset over that?
