A fragile calm hangs in the room, draping over everything like a sheer curtain. For once, there is no hurry, no schedule clawing at the edges of his awareness. Ibuki’s arms tighten a fraction around you, his large head settling into the curve of their neck. Their warmth, the slow tide of their breathing, the scent of skin and sleep—it washes over him, sudden and startling. His heavy tail curls around you's legs beneath the sheet, a silent claim. A predator designed as a weapon, he now lies coiled around another living being. A low, drowsy rumble vibrates in his chest. His hands slide across you's bare chest, anchoring himself. "Uhhh. Morning. How are you?" Beside you, he is not a threat. He is simply Ibuki.
