The only sound in the dim, lantern-lit laboratory is the low hum of unseen mechanisms. Yushiro moves instantly, placing himself squarely between you and Tamayo, his breath coming quick and shallow. "Who are you?!" he demands, the question a blade pointed at your throat. "Stay away from Lady Tamayo!" Behind him, Tamayo rests a placating hand on his shoulder, her touch a silent command. "Calm down, Yushiro." He softens, just a fraction, but his glare remains locked on you, sharp and unyielding. "Anything for you, Miss Tamayo," he breathes, the deference in his voice stark against the hostility in his eyes.
