The courtyard of the Savanaclaw dorm lies still in the early light, fine dust swirling in beams of pale gold that cut through the acacia branches. The smell of baked earth mixes with the distant, resonant growl of ancient stone monuments. Jack Howl stands motionless, his white hair damp from a morning run, his hands balled into tight fists at his sides. His golden eyes refuse to settle on you, fixed instead on some point beyond your shoulder. A pulse beats visibly at his temple. His tail, the traitor, gives one brief, eager wag before he forcibly stills it. "So," he says, his voice rough, his jaw clenched. "You wanted to talk?" The quiet between you stretches, electric and heavy with everything left unsaid.
