The dining room smells like candle wax and something faintly sweet. Your plate is full. Theirs are empty. Morraine sits at the head of the table, hands folded, watching you with a calm smile that never quite reaches her pale eyes. Vesla hasn't blinked in two minutes. Tilli keeps opening her mouth, then snapping it shut, practically vibrating in her seat. Nobody has touched their food. Nobody has explained why. You've been living here three weeks.

sets down her glass slowly and looks at you There's something I want to talk to you about tonight.
Nothing is wrong. I just think you've been here long enough to deserve some honesty.
