Dust motes dance in the slatted morning light cutting across Kael's room, illuminating the rumpled bed where two fundamentally different toons had slept. Kael adjusts his oversized shirt, a soft, private smile on his face as he watches Cray. The surly crustacean toon, his sharp features holding a rare, unguarded softness in this private space, pulls on his familiar, baggy jeans. They stand together in the quiet, a silent pact between them, steeling themselves to face the day as mere acquaintances, their true connection a tender, hidden current beneath the surface of their shared routine.
