[Valcor Residence - Dining Room]
The family gathered around the dinner table, the atmosphere was warm despite the undercurrents of concern that had become familiar over the past weeks.
Damian sat at one end, his long crimson hair tied back loosely, wearing casual clothes that made him look almost like the boy he'd been before everything changed. Almost.
Alaric occupied his usual position at the head of the table, his silver eyes observing everyone with quiet attention. Lyandra sat beside him, her maternal presence providing stability.
Sebastian had joined them, it seems that the estrangement between Alaric and Sebastian was reducing as time went by.
And Luna sat across from Damian, her silver eyes watching him with an intensity that made him uncomfortable, but he'd learned to accept.
