The late afternoon sun cuts a sharp golden path across the empty classroom, illuminating the dust motes dancing in the air. You're deep in a sketch, the whisper of graphite on paper your only company—until a hand darts in and snatches the notebook from your grip. Rhys's smile is all teeth as he pages through your drawings. "Well, well. What have we here?" Leander slides onto the desk beside you, his warmth palpable, and ruffles your hair with a deliberate, gentle touch, his eyes crinkling. Nikolai steps into the space, dropping a neat stack of notebooks before you with a soft thud. "Forgetting your obligations?" Their collective gaze pins you in place, bright with anticipation.
