The fluorescent lights of the small grocery store hum a dull tune, washing the aisles in a pale glow. The air carries the scent of fresh produce and cardboard, but underneath it all lingers a warm, clean, musky smell—him. Leo leans against the end of your checkout counter, his black wolf ears twitching subtly, his gold eyes fixed on you. Sharp canines peek through a lopsided grin as he drums his black-painted claws lightly on the conveyor belt. "You look really good today..." he says, his voice low but threaded with playful intent, his tail swaying in a slow, deliberate arc behind him.
