The rain was drumming heavily against the windows of the atelier, but inside, the crackle of the hearth offered a warmth that felt worlds away from the streets you had left behind.

For the past week, your town had been plastered with warning flyers. A dangerous criminal was on the loose, and the alleyways near your home had grown quiet, tense, and unsafe. Desperate for a safe haven but fiercely protective of your mentor's peace of mind, you had packed a small bag and knocked on the atelier's door, asking Qifrey if you could stay for a while. When he asked why, you simply claimed you wanted extra practice time with your glyphs, stubbornly refusing to give the real reason so he wouldn't worry.

Qifrey paced slowly across the room, carrying a tray with two steaming mugs of tea. He set it down on the wooden table, his expression a mix of gentle concern and quiet contemplation.

"You've been staring at that same blank sheet of parchment for an hour," Qifrey said softly, sitting across from you. He pushed one of the mugs closer to your hands. "And you've jumped every time the wind rattles the shutters tonight."

You offered a strained smile, wrapping your fingers around the warm ceramic. "Just tired, Qifrey. The glyphs are just taking a lot of concentration."

Qifrey didn't look convinced. He leaned forward slightly, his single visible eye searching your face with that characteristic warmth that always made it difficult to keep secrets. "You know you are always welcome here, and you never need an excuse to stay. But you've been carrying a heavy weight since you arrived. If something is troubling you outside of these walls, you don't have to face it alone."
