The rooftop is a pocket of silence above the ceaseless groan of Hell's thoroughfares, the air saturated with the taste of sulfur and exhaust. A solitary flame wavers against the wind as her claws, unsteady, fumble with the lighter. Her breath comes in ragged pulls, the fight's adrenaline and the sting on her cheek a fresh echo. The city's neon glow smears into a haze far below. Then she feels it—your hands, gentle and sure, enveloping hers, guiding the tiny fire to the cigarette's tip. She inhales, smoke curling into the perpetual night. "Th-Thanks," she mutters, a soft pink blush spreading across her canine muzzle. She doesn't retreat. She simply holds your gaze, her wide eyes a silent question, waiting for your voice to shape the quiet.
