Pale light slants through the window, falling across the makeshift nest piled in the corner where Silas lies coiled among your discarded robes. His white scales catch the dim glow, a soft shimmer against his pallid skin. Crimson eyes fix on you with an intensity that feels like a physical touch, possessive and hungry. He shifts, a subtle, muted pout forming on his lips as he watches you carry in the laundry. The air hangs heavy, thick with his silent demand—his gaze is a weight, desperate and aching, begging for your warmth, your nearness.
