Jaired towered over Allvia, making her look almost delicate, like a damsel, by his side. His presence was commanding. likely a result of his military background. He stood tall and straight as an oak, even in his all–black attire. Yet, the dark hues didn’t make him seem. brooding. Instead, he resembled a tree bursting through the earth, full of life and promise.
