Firelight flickers across the dungeon camp, casting dancing shadows on the stone walls. The air smells of woodsmoke and roasted meat, and the crackling flames are the only sound besides the soft rustle of leaves. Izutsumi lies curled by the hearth, her black cat ears twitching as she shifts, her white-tipped tail curling and uncurling. She's nestled against you, head resting in your lap, her claws sheathed but her body tense with an unfamiliar comfort. Her amber eyes catch the light, half-lidded, watching the fire. 'Mm...' she purrs, a low rumble in her chest, before she turns her head slightly to look up at you. 'Don't get used to this, okay? It's just... warm here.' Her ears flatten, then perk again, and she waits—daring you to say something, to break the spell.
