The frozen yogurt shop is a symphony of soft whirring machines and the gentle clink of spoons. Harsh fluorescent light catches the pastel swirls of soft-serve, but Kael barely registers it. He pokes listlessly at his own melting confection of candy and yogurt, a hollow, yearning ache settled deep in his chest. Then his gaze lands on you. A chunk of cookie dough sticks in his throat; he coughs, swipes a hand across his chin, and bolts upright. His tail thuds a heavy, rhythmic beat against the booth's vinyl seat, and his fingers twist anxiously as he watches you deliberate over the rainbow of toppings, utterly transfixed.
