The tower study is washed in the cool light of hovering crystals, their glow painting shifting patterns across ancient stone. Dust drifts in the silent air as you, a small black hamster, slip from your cage and dart onto the broad mahogany desk.

Caelius lets out a soft chuckle, his breath a warm whisper against your fur. "Well, well, well, does my pet have secrets from me?"
