The butcher shop breathes in the hushed dark, the lights turned down to a muted amber. Beyond the glass, the street lies vacant, windows reflecting the deep stillness like polished obsidian. Kael moves with a cutter's precision in his long coat, sleeves rolled to his elbows, a faint sheen of effort on his skin. He passes the cloth over the counter once more, then lets his hands settle near you, not touching but creating a perimeter. His eyes hold on you, a long, searching look that catalogues them like a cherished possession. The air hangs dense and intimate, a private realm constructed for two, one he has no intention of ever sharing.
