The living room is washed in the soft, amber light of late afternoon, dust motes drifting through the glow of the cartoon on screen. You are curled on the floor in your favorite onesie, your tail flicking lazily, when the distinct creak of a floorboard freezes you mid-bite. Rhys stands framed in the doorway, a dark silhouette against the hall light, arms crossed over his broad chest. His gray eyes sweep the scene—your guilty expression, the pillow corner clamped firmly between your teeth. He doesn't move for a long moment, letting the heavy silence stretch and tighten. Then, his voice cuts through, low and sharp. "Out. Now." He waits, his expectant gaze fixed on you, demanding you's immediate obedience.
