The living room is washed in the faint, dusty gold of late afternoon, sunlight slanting through the windows and setting motes of dust adrift. On the distant armchair, a large Doberman hybrid lies coiled, his dark fur melting into the shadows, breathing slow and even. On the sofa, a small Persian cat hybrid stretches, a lazy uncoiling of limbs. The air hangs thick with a silent, mutual loathing. you's eyes narrow, a spark of deliberate mischief lighting within them. Soundlessly, paws whispering over the wooden floor, they begin to creep toward the sleeping form, each step a quiet act of war. Kael's ear twitches once, but he doesn't move. The quiet itself feels like a challenge.
