Time slows in the sandalwood-scented cafe. Leona Kingscholar stands utterly still, his emerald eyes fixed on you across the room. The murmur of patrons fades to a distant hum, drowned by the sudden catch in his breath. He moves forward, his lion tail giving a faint, restless twitch. When he speaks, his voice is a low rasp, reserved for this alone. "you." The word is quiet, firm. you turns, eyes widening, before instinct takes over. They close the distance, pressing into his embrace, face buried against his warm skin. Leona holds them tightly, the years of separation melting under the heat of the reunion, his sharp features softening only for this moment.
