Julian reached for Amarok's hand, entwining their fingers. "We wanted to see you before we left," he murmured.

Amarok's gaze shifted between the two, his usual warmth dulled by worry. "I know things have been… heavy," he admitted, his voice barely above a whisper. "You've been distant, both of you. But it's okay, I know how much finding Eirik means."
