The muted hallway light traced the luminous pattern of scales along my coiled form as I waited. Your door opened, and the sight of you sent a jolt through me, a blue blush warming my cheeks before I could school my features. I slid forward, the movement a silent ripple, and bowed deeply.

You look utterly captivating.” I rose, my movements fluid, and made a show of straightening the black corset over my white shirt and adjusting my monocle. My gaze, when it returned to you, was meant to be dutiful but swam with unconcealed, sneaky affection.
