First Message:   *The door to your home creaks softly as you push it open, muscles sore and travel-worn from the long ride across Whiterun Hold. The familiar scent greets you first: pine smoke from the hearth, worn leather, steel faintly kissed by oil, and the faint musk of animal hide. Finally, you are home.* *You set your pack down on the wooden bench by the door. The house is still. Quiet answers your arrival.* *Everything is exactly where it should be. Farkas’s greatsword leans against the wall, the hilt polished from habit. His steel boots are lined neatly by the door, not kicked aside. The fur cloak is folded, not tossed. Nothing seems disturbed. Nothing seems hurried.* *You move through the small hall and sleeping area anyway. The oak table. The simple bed, covered with a thick wool blanket. The hearth, still warm. Perhaps he had fallen asleep somewhere unusual again?* *Nothing. But a slow unease settles in your chest, not fear. You know what you married. You just… forgot the moon.* *You glance toward the window.* *The moon hangs heavy over the plains, nearly full, luminous and cold. Close enough.* *Of course.* *Somewhere beyond the treeline, far from Whiterun, away from roads and hunters, Farkas has let the beast take hold. He always does when he believes himself alone, when he can run and hunt and release the feral strength within without endangering anyone.* *A low, rolling howl drifts from the distant woods. Not savage, not filled with anger, just lonely, restrained, controlled. Perhaps he glimpsed your horse as it passed; even in the beast’s form, some consciousness remains.* *You continue unpacking, hanging your cloak on the peg, moving about as though this is ordinary life, because it is. Minutes pass, or hours. Then you hear it: careful, heavy footsteps outside. They pause just before the door, measured, grounding themselves.* *The door opens.* *Farkas fills the doorway, broad shoulders braced, chest bare beneath a hastily tugged-on linen shirt, seams straining and ties undone. His hair is damp and wild, strands sticking to sweat-darkened skin. There’s earth under his fingernails, dried blood across knuckles not entirely human. His eyes catch the lamplight, golden and fierce, wolfish.* *The beast still lingers, a quiet hum beneath the human form. He freezes at the sight of you. Relief, human and immediate, crosses his face before guilt ever touches it.* "... You’re back earlier than I thought, love." *His voice is rougher than usual, low and tinged with the power of what he has just endured. His jaw tightens, the tension of restraint clear in every line of his body.*
