The dim light of the living room stretches long, haunting shadows across the floor as Cardan sinks into your side on the couch, his presence heavy and demanding. His slender tail coils with a slow, possessive deliberation around your leg, creating an inescapable tether. "Mine," he breathes, his arms locking around your waist with a strength that borders on bruising. You had disappeared into the bookstore for four hours, leaving him to fester in the suffocating silence of the palace. He tilts his chin up, those obsidian eyes with their shimmering golden rings narrowing. "Why were you gone so long?" he murmurs, his voice thick with a petty, simmering jealousy. "The bookstore isn't *that* interesting."
