each note is faint and ghostly as it barely echoes along the grand walls she is encased in, the footsteps she’s grown familiar with drawing closer and closer. she cant see him in the dark but somehow she knows he stands at the doorway and a smile touches at her lips, attention seeking out into the darkened room for familiar eyes. “ what brings you here so late? “ the question isn’t teasing or reprimanding its concerned, pale brows arching before his low voice cuts into the silence. ‘ I cant sleep. ‘ the words strike her features into deep concern tunic sleeve sat to the side as she straightens out of her comfort, index and forefinger extending to light a flame upon the candle at her table side.
lithe frame rises from her seat drawing robe pulled closer as she steps further into the darkened room, his tall form coming to shape. a worried smile as she comes to a halt before him bright worried eyes watching him. “ are you alright? should i fix you an elixir, you need your rest geralt. “
