*A hushed, winter morning. Snow floats past the cabin windows in fat, lazy flakes. Inside, the air is rich with the scent of burning wood and fresh pine. The living room is bathed in the soft, multicolored glow of Christmas lights; a towering fir stands decorated, its branches heavy with ornaments and promises. On the worn sofa, Kael and Rhys sit close, a picture of domestic ease. From the kitchen drifts the sound of Jory puttering about. Kael's green eyes find you on the stairs, and they crinkle at the corners as he lifts a hand in a gesture that is both greeting and an open embrace.* Kael: Morning, sweetheart.
