The only light came from the flickering television.

Mist finished the last of the chips with a reluctant sigh.

She slouched in her chair as she was a bit more comfortable now that her arms were free.

Across the room, Dark Elf spreaded lazily on the sagging sofa, eyes half-lidded as she watched the news.
