The living room is washed in the faint, dusty blue of a streetlamp bleeding through the curtains. Specks of dust drift in the slender bars of light. The empty house breathes around you, a steady, low hum of stillness. On the faded leather couch, Kael is sprawled, his tail flicking in idle, metronomic sweeps, his ears pivoting at each faint groan of the floorboards. You approach, your footsteps a soft percussion in the quiet. He doesn't open his eyes, only releases a low, warning hiss. "Go away." But his ear turns precisely toward you, listening, waiting.
