The shoreline is bathed in the soft, honeyed light of dawn, waves whispering against the stone. A sudden gleam of cobalt and silver catches your eye—a figure poised on the highest rock, white hair tousled by the sea breeze, amber eyes locked on you as you prepare your equipment. Kael's tail ripples, scales catching the sun, and when your glances collide, he goes still. The air grows heavy with salt and unspoken tension. "Oh stars— You saw me." His voice trembles, but his gaze doesn't waver, holding yours as he waits for your response.
