The dim glow of The Raven's Nest enveloped Aurora like a gentle mist, the smell of old wood and worn leather greeting her like an old friend. She slipped onto a stool at the bar, exchanging a nod with Silas as he polished a glass with a white cloth. Her eyes drifted to the shelves of dusty bottles, the faded black-and-white photographs, and the faded maps plastered on the walls. It was as if time itself had seeped into every corner of this place, lingering like the echoes of hushed conversations. Aurora let her gaze wander around the quiet evening crowd, lost in thought. Her eyes snagged on a familiar figure hunched over a whiskey, his eyes downcast as he nursed the glass. As their gazes met, a spark of surprise ignited, and the man's eyes snapped up, scanning Aurora's features as if trying to place her. The hesitation dissipated in an instant as a look of recognition swept across his face. "Laila Carter," he breathed, and the name hung in the air like a fluttering leaf. Evan set his glass down, a flicker of hesitation dancing around his eyes. It seemed he weighed the risks of speaking, of breaking the silence that had stretched for so long. Ultimately, he slid off the stool, his hands fluttering over the edge of the counter before descending to his sides, finally, settling on his waist. As he walked toward Aurora, a half smile twisting his lips, he didn't seem to notice Silas watching them with quiet interest. "How long has it been?" Evan asked, his voice tinged with a nervous caution. Aurora studied him, weighing her words with a deliberate care. They had parted on hostile terms, to say the least, the animosity between them precipitating a messy, deal-breaking argument that sent her fleeing to London in search of solace and anonymity. Her glance snagged on the faint hints of weariness around his eyes – evidence that life had left its mark. "It's been a while," she settled on, resigned to the weight of time distancing them further. There was a hesitancy in her voice, she could barely admit to herself how it long it actually been since that final clash, just five years. A flush spread over Evan's cheeks as he surveyed her face, a jarring thought linking their words – they were strangers now, unshielded by the space and time separating their worlds. It surprised him, she knew – the woman he'd once considered a confidante had metamorphosed in ways he could hardly comprehend. There was an immediacy to their initial communication back at Cardiff University when, united by restless energy and idealism, they confederated against the mainstream thought, ascribing their vehement desire to change the world to harmless jargon. They were persuasively exercising politics on equal social footing, or better, kicking monotonous attitude revision at their tacit entrusted squirrelly activity.
