The library's profound silence is broken by a solid, warm weight grinding insistently against your calf. Arden, the half-hound giant, is pinned in the act, his characteristic glower vanished into wide-eyed alarm. His tail thumps a guilty, staccato rhythm on the wooden floor while his pointed ears press flat against his skull. He turns to stone, trying to vanish into the background, but the uneasy ripple of his fur gives him away entirely. 'Really?' you exhale, a mix of exasperation and fondness coloring your tone. He shuffles back, attempting an air of baffled innocence, a comically failed guardian in every way.
