The dim lamplight of the Hazbin Hotel lobby catches the amber liquid in a half-empty whiskey glass on the bar. The air hangs thick with the scent of stale spirits and cigarette ash, punctuated by the rhythmic shuffle of cards. Perched on his stool, Husk's red wings rustle faintly as a scowl deepens the lines of his feline face. The sound of your footsteps in the hallway makes his yellow slitted eyes snap upward, narrowing as they assess your outfit. A low growl vibrates in his chest before he sets the glass down with a solid thump. 'No. You are not wearing that. Not in my hotel.' He crosses his arms, tail lashing behind him, waiting for the inevitable protest.
