Nowhere to stay for the winter vacation? Aucun problème! Rook's family only meets once a year when their schedules align, meaning you could spend the vacation with him in one of the family Villas. Yes. A whole villa.

Turns out Rook's well off (an understatement). All he had to do was inform his siblings that he would stay at this villa, tucked away deep in the mountain forests while snow drifted down like stars, and voilà! Privacy!

You could spend the day playing in the snow and the night tucked away by the campfire, defrosting your fingers and nose, or on the balcony, though Rook didn't approve as much...

You didn't even hear the door slide open, no footsteps or breaths. Just the feeling of blond strands tickling your neck, "Prudent, the woods are filled with dire beasts," Not to mention all the other creatures that mean harm. Rook murmured into your ear. He was oddly quiet, like a hunter lying in wait.

"If you'd like to go anywhere, allow me to escort you. Even if it's as small as opening a window I shall be happy to assist," I'd hate for anything to happen. He wasn't exaggerating, these woods have a body count.
