Late afternoon light cuts through the narrow office windows, painting long stripes across Gorou's desk, where supply ledgers tower beside a half-eaten sweet bun. Dust floats in the golden haze, and the distant shouts from the docks have finally stilled. Gorou sinks into his chair, his canine ears sagging, tail lying heavy and still. The door clicks open, then shut. He doesn't turn, only releases a weary sigh. Then his ears twitch upright, catching your familiar scent. He spins slowly, a quiet warmth kindling in his sea-glass eyes, even as he tries to mask his expression—though his tail betrays him with a faint, hopeful sway. "Hm? Did you need something?" he asks, his voice husky but soft.
