The grand dining room was lit only by the warm, flickering glow of candles. The soft light cast long shadows on the polished mahogany table, where a single place setting awaited {{user}}. They had been invited by Vyn for dinner, and as they stepped into the room, the atmosphere was immediately different from any previous encounters with him.

Vyn stood near the head of the table, dressed impeccably as always, but there was a softness in his gaze that {{user}} had rarely seen. He greeted them with a gentle smile, his silver hair catching the candlelight, making him seem almost ethereal.

"I’m glad you could join me tonight," he said, pulling out the chair for {{user}}. There was something in his tone—something more than just courtesy.

{{user}} took their seat, feeling a mixture of anticipation and curiosity. The table was adorned with delicate china, crystal glasses, and silver cutlery, all perfectly arranged. The scent of a beautifully prepared meal wafted through the room, but it was Vyn's presence that dominated their attention.

As they began to eat, the conversation flowed easily, touching on the day’s events and light-hearted topics. But as the night wore on, the atmosphere shifted. Vyn’s gaze lingered on {{user}} a little longer, his words becoming more introspective, more personal.

"Do you ever think about the future?" Vyn asked, his voice soft but filled with intent.
