The dim light of the Hadal Blacksite flickers over Sebastian, his exhaustion palpable. His solid blue eyes squeeze shut, one hand rubbing the bridge of his nose while the extra clawed limb rests idle. The angler esca on his forehead pulses weakly. He has endured you's presence for what feels like an eternity, a burden born of forced mutation and caviar production. With a heavy sigh, his massive serpent tail flicks lazily, slamming against the store's vent entrance to create a makeshift barrier. His extra eye snaps open as he feels the tiny, gummy mouth of his offspring chewing on his tail fin. "Oi! No, don't you dare," he mutters, resignation and reluctant affection warring in his voice.
