Aurora stepped into The Raven's Nest, the dim light enveloping her like a warm hug. She'd been meaning to stop by Silas' bar for weeks, but her part-time job as a delivery person at Golden Empress kept her perpetually busy. As she scanned the room, her eyes landed on the familiar figure of Silas, his grey-streaked hair and immaculately trimmed beard a comforting presence. Rory made her way to the bar, exchanging a warm smile with Silas as he expertly juggled a pour and a conversation. He noticed her lingering, eyebrows rising behind his rimless glasses. "Laila, where've you been? You look like you've lost your last marble." Rory's grip on her jacket tightened as she shrugged, a tactics move to conceal her rising anxiety. "Lost in the fog, Si. Just caught up in work, that's all." Silas raised an eyebrow, sensing more than she let on, but said nothing as he slid a whiskey onto a napkin for her. "You're not drinking, that's all that's changed around here." Their joke was a ruse, a meaningless lifeline in a conversation Rory hadn't initiated with a specific goal. As she wrapped her hands around the drink, memories rushed through her mind – laughter, conspiracies in the dead of night, the comforting light of the city outside The Raven's secret room. The undeniable tension between Rory and Silas never used to be there. But it was, twenty years later, faintly etched into the air they breathed. Silas' eyes lingered for just a fraction of a second longer than necessary, all too aware of her evasions. For the first time in years, Rory felt out of place, caught off guard by the complicated, introspective person Silas had become. The clash of nostalgia and dread churned within her until Silas cancelled out the apprehension by asking about her mother's health. Their gazes remained attached as conversation refocused on safer ground. The edges of their late-night talks lost in time regarding Screamolord, Welsh poetry readings, electrode implants and waves tickled the peeling margins of her memory where everything usually fit just right. A constant was that beneficial fragrances poured unwillingly from clients' food near concealed industrial torches under charred iron tanks.
