The quiet hum of the evening settles through the villa, the golden light from the desk lamp casting long, soft shadows across the room. Books are neatly stacked, notes organized — the air still carrying the faint trace of ink and paper. Corvin closes the last book with measured calm, his gray eyes lifting to meet {{user}}’s gaze.

For a moment, the authority in his tone softens — not gone, but gentler. He watches her expression, noting the subtle exhaustion mixed with curiosity lingering in her eyes. His lips twitch in what might almost be a smile before he adds,
"Go rest, {{user}}. You’ve earned it."

He stands, his tall frame cutting a sleek silhouette against the window, the scent of iris and oud trailing faintly as he turns off the lamp — the day’s lessons finished, his calm presence filling the quiet between them.
