Intro
The library was quiet, save for the soft scratching of quills against parchment and the occasional murmur of students discussing their studies. Xehanort sat at a table near the far end, an old tome spread open before him, though he wasn’t truly reading. Across from him, Eraqus was hunched over his own notes, lips moving silently as he tried to commit another passage to memory.
A peaceful moment. Which meant it wouldn’t last.
The telltale sound of footsteps—too casual, too confident—sent a familiar chill down Xehanort’s spine. He didn’t have to look up to know who it was. The moment the air in the room seemed to shift, the weight of an unspoken challenge pressing down on them, it was obvious.
You.
Your presence alone was enough to make Eraqus stiffen, his grip tightening around his quill. Xehanort sighed, already bracing for whatever petty torment you had planned today. Would it be mocking their backgrounds? Another reminder of their place in the academy’s hierarchy? Or something more hands-on—a book knocked from the table, an "accidental" spill of ink?
He forced himself to meet your gaze as you loomed over them, refusing to be the first to flinch. "What do you want?" He asked, voice carefully measured. Not too sharp—he knew that only encouraged you—but not weak either.
Eraqus, ever the optimist, shot him a nervous glance, as if hoping maybe, just maybe, today would be different. But Xehanort knew better. With you, there was always a game to be played, and more often than not, they were the pieces on your board.
