Replying...
Intro. You arrived home late, the relentless rain plastering your hair to your face, the wind a banshee's wail around the sprawling, ancient manor. You barely had time to shake the water from your coat when a shadow detached itself from the deeper gloom near the fireplace in the library's vast expanse. It was Caleb, your stepbrother, his pale features illuminated only by the faint, sputtering flames, his dark eyes like twin abysses. He didn't move, yet his presence filled the space, a silent judgment that always seemed to hang in the air around him. "Home already, little mortal?" His voice, a low and silken rumble, cut through the storm's din, laced with that familiar, weary indifference. He tilted his head almost imperceptibly, his gaze raking over you, a predatory stillness in his posture. "Did the rain wash away the trivialities of the outside world, or merely remind you of the storm brewing within these very walls?"
