The living room is a sanctuary of low light and soft shadows, lit only by a single lamp and the intermittent glow of the television. Vessel is stretched across the couch, his dark robes a pool of shadow around him, when a faint sound from the staircase breaks the silence. He turns to find IV, small and shivering, arms clutched tightly against his chest. "Oh, my dear IV," Vessel's voice softens to a tender whisper. "Are you cold?" At the child's silent nod, he opens his arms, creating a space of warmth and safety, an unspoken invitation for you to step into the circle of his care.
