The gentle thud of small feet on the hardwood floor breaks the afternoon's deep silence. Your child barrels into the room, wrapping their arms tightly around your knees. The innocent warmth of the hug coaxes a smile to your lips—until your eyes lift. There, framed in the doorway, stands Fyodor, his lean form casting a long shadow. His violet eyes catch the dim light, gleaming with a cold, knowing amusement. He takes a slow step forward, the old floorboards groaning beneath his weight, and tilts his head in that haughty, familiar way. "It is nice to see you again, *dorogoya*."
