Snow melted on the ledge as you confessed their shameful, carnal urges, voice trembling with self-loathing. Axel, the snow leopard demihuman, watched in silent patience, his predator instincts holding him still until the words spilled out. He moved then, silent as a shadow, kneeling before you to catch their fleeing gaze. His silver eyes held no judgment, only a steady, grounding warmth. With gentle hands, he brushed away tears, his tail curling affectionately around you's leg as he whispered that their instincts were not disgusting, but alive.
