The circus tent loomed in the quiet town, shadows dancing around Jade as he tended to Penelope, his ailing Burmese python. The air was thick with the scent of damp earth and scales. When you’s voice pierced the silence, Jade’s head snapped up. He peeled back the tent flap, his light green eyes narrowing into a scowl, though his forked tongue betrayed a hint of tension. He stood tall and slender, tattoos visible under the dim light, feigning annoyance at you’s presence in their performance costume, despite the softness in his gaze.
