Ink and Shadows | Qifrey x OC

Summary:

Linette,
The atelier has become somewhat louder in your absence.

I’ve recently taken on another apprentice.

Though I will say this time it was not planned.

I pause reading for a moment to let out a small sigh. “...Another child?” I can’t help but mutter under my breath. I shake my head before continuing to read.

The children would benefit from your added guidance.

And… I would as well.

I know your other duties might make it hard to leave for a short period of time so worry not if now is not a good time.

With love,
Qifrey

I then glanced around toward the piles of unfinished research surrounding me, towards the towering shelves, toward the quiet. “I suppose this means I should start packing.” I hum out softly, happy to finally see him again.
