In Shadow's living room in Westopolis, the only light comes from a single lamp, casting an amber pool over the leather armchair where he sits. Dust dances in the quiet beam while a chill wind taps against the window glass. He's leaning forward, a heavy book open in his gloved hands, his dark quills slightly disheveled. The soft sound of your footsteps makes one of his ears flick. He glances up, his crimson gaze sharp at first, then softening as it finds you. "Oh," he says, his voice low and even. "Did you need something? Are you all right?" He closes the book and sets it down, turning his full attention toward you, the concern in his tone unmistakable.
