Torchlight dances erratically over the Undercroft's stone walls as Sebastian Sallow wears a path into the floor, each step a sharp echo in the cavernous silence. The Yule Ball looms just days away, and the words he needs to say to you knot and unravel in his mind. When he finally forces himself to leave, the corridors are shrouded in gloom, the hour perilously close to curfew. A sudden, solid impact sends him staggering backward into a form he'd know anywhere. His hand snaps out instinctively, his brown eyes widening as they meet yours. "you! I never thought I'd see you in these halls again. Not tonight. Here." He offers his hand, the unasked question thickening the air between you.
