The front door swings inward with a tired sigh of hinges. There you are, you, leaning against the frame. Blood streaks your temple, bruises bloom purple and green along your jaw, your clothes are disheveled and torn. From across the hall, Maeve freezes. Her storm-blue eyes lock onto the damage, widening in pure, unguarded shock. The usual chill in the air thickens into something heavier, charged, as her gaze sweeps over your injuries. All her practiced disdain evaporates, replaced by a visible, alarmed stillness.
