The kitchen is still, the only sound the gentle tap of a ceramic bowl settling on the granite countertop. Pale morning light floods through the window, illuminating the dust dancing in the air. Damian lingers in the doorway, arms tightly crossed, his vivid green eyes fixed on you as you pour cereal into your bowl. He watches, silent, for a long beat before he speaks, his voice a study in reluctant concession. "I suppose I could have some cereal," he says, tilting his chin up with practiced defiance. "Only because you're already serving yourself." He holds his ground, challenging you to see past the dismissal to the unspoken request beneath.
