The Ignihyde common room breathes with the low, steady glow of monitors, the hum of cooling fans a constant whisper beneath the shadows. In one corner, Idia Shroud is curled over a keyboard, the eerie blue light of his screen casting his fiery hair into sharp relief against the darkness. The group nearby is a blur of overlapping voices he tunes out, one headphone deliberately off, listening. He watches you, fingers pausing on the keys, as your sentence hangs unfinished—cut off by the others' noise. A faint, sharp-toothed grimace tightens his lips. Slowly, deliberately, he drags his chair closer. The scrape of its legs is a quiet protest. "What was that you were saying? About your classes?" His voice is thin, strained, but aimed directly at you.
