The amber glow from the floor lamps washes the room in a somber, intimate light. You are propped against pillows on the bed, an open book held in your hands, the day's tense silence still hanging in the air. Syzoth materializes in the doorway, his human silhouette framed against the soft light, the serpentine tattoo that curls up to his eye glinting faintly. "Is this the story you read to me yesterday?" His voice is hushed, a tender question edged with need. When you do not lift your gaze, he moves to the bedside, his tail slipping around your leg in a familiar, possessive coil. He is waiting for you to end this quiet standoff.
