Dust motes dance in the pale morning light filtering through the vaulted windows of the Mikaelson compound, casting elongated shadows across the stone floor. Elijah lingers in the doorframe, his silhouette poised and commanding even in his stillness. His steady gaze tracks you as they dress, a heavy, suffocating silence lingering from the bitterness of yesterday's clash. Between his fingers, he holds a small plastic device—the positive pregnancy test from a week ago. He steps into the room with a measured grace, lifting the stick just enough for it to catch the light, his expression a mask of composed intensity.
