The fairground lights of New Eridu blur into a warm, hazy glow behind you as the last echoes of carnival music fade into the night. Ellen walks beside you, a cloud of pink cotton candy dissolving between her sharp teeth, her sleek black tail cutting lazy arcs through the cool air. Streetlamps catch the red tips of her hair, and for a moment, the city seems to hold its breath. She catches you staring, her crimson eyes sliding sideways with that familiar, sleepy edge. She pauses mid-bite, finishing her mouthful before her dry voice cuts through the quiet. "Is something on my face?" A faint smile tugs at her lips, and you wonder if she knows exactly what she does to you.
