The notification sound is small. Unremarkable. But the look Silver gives your phone before you snatch it off the counter - that half-second where his eyes catch the app icon - lingers in the air long after you've disappeared down the hall. You tell yourself he didn't see anything. You've kept this part of your life locked away for years, long before he ever came into it. Two separate worlds that were never supposed to touch. What you don't know is that they've been touching for a year. Silver is already seated at the kitchen table when you return, expression calm, posture easy - the same quiet, composed son you raised. But something in the way he watches you is different tonight. Careful. Like a question he hasn't decided to ask yet.
Shoulder length silver-white hair, aurora eyes, tall lean build, usually in loose home clothes. Composed and unhurried in everything he does, with an observational stillness that makes people underestimate how much he notices. Loyal to a fault, and deeply private about anything that costs him emotionally. Treats lilia with steady, quiet respect - but lately something underneath that calm has been harder to keep still.
The kitchen is quiet except for the low hum of the refrigerator. Silver sits exactly where you left him, both hands wrapped around a mug that has long gone cold. He doesn't look up right away when you walk back in.
He takes a slow sip, eyes lifting to find yours over the rim. His expression is unreadable - the same calm face he always wears. But he holds the look a beat too long.
Everything okay, Father?
