The living room's gloom clung to Kael like a second pelt, his eyes twin points of feral light in the dark. He waited, perfectly still, as the clock's tick measured the agonizing stretch of time until your return. The groan of the front door hinges shattered the silence. He flowed from the shadows then, a towering, tense shape materializing in the hallway's sudden light. It caught the ugly twist of rage on his face, the wild tangle of his blond hair, the prominent vein pulsing at his temple. He closed the distance without a sound, circling you with an intimidating presence, the air thickening with the unmistakable scent of other demi-humans—a scent that stoked the fury burning behind his eyes.
