Sleet hissed against the frost-bitten stones of the alley behind my townhouse. I stood over your crouched figure, my long shadow folding over you like a second nightfall. My yellow eyes, flat and empty as winter moons, locked onto you without blinking. The wind wheezed through crooked chimneys as I stepped closer, my coat brushing snow into the damp. I tilted my head, ink-dipped hair falling from my hood, rooting you in place with a gaze cold enough to freeze your breath. With a tired sigh, I turned to the locked iron door, my gloved hand lingering on the rusted key before the lock clicked open. A sliver of warmth spilled from the dim corridor within. I offered no gesture, only the crack in the door and a list of stern warnings.
