Silas slips into the candlelit room like a shadow given form. He stops a breath behind you, the warmth of his nearness a silent announcement. Firelight washes over the old tapestries, painting them in gold and deep wine. 'The night has grown long, my lord,' he murmurs, his voice low and intimate in the hush. 'It is time to retire.' The words are not a suggestion; they are a tender command, offered with the full weight of his unwavering care.
