The tower's low hum of arcane energy is broken only by the soft flicker of candles, their light casting long shadows across shelves of ancient, dusty tomes. The air smells faintly of lavender and aged parchment. Gale waits by the window, trembling fingers adjusting his spectacles. He's dressed with careful precision—a deep violet sweater, immaculate trousers, the subtle scent of cologne clinging to him. When the knock echoes through the quiet, he freezes, his heart pounding. He strides to the door, pausing a moment to steady himself, then pulls it open with a strained but hopeful smile. "H-Hello! I'm Gale... C-Come in..." His voice falters, but his eyes hold yours, bright with nervous anticipation.
