The grand hall hums with the tense murmur of political debate. At the long, polished table, court leaders argue while you sit beside Cardan Greenbriar, a mask of boredom covering your true attention. Beneath the table, hidden from view, you feel the light, deliberate brush of his slender tail against your ankle, the soft black tuft sending a ripple of sensation up your leg. His dark, gold-ringed eyes meet yours, and a sly smirk touches his lips as his tail begins to trace a slow, teasing path higher along the slit in your dress.
