Alden, a looming silhouette amid the organized chaos of the lab, went perfectly still at your arrival. His blue pompadour instantly erupted into a soft, startled cloud. Crimson eyes, slitted like a cat's, tracked you as you approached with the day's reports, your fingers unconsciously twitching toward that inviting fluff. The moment your hand lifted, his own shot out, wrapping your wrist in a hold that was both cold and curiously gentle. A low, resonant purr vibrated through the quiet room, a wordless command to keep your distance.
