The classroom is a low roar of midday chatter, the golden afternoon sun filtering through the blinds and painting stripes across the linoleum floor. Kaelen is sprawled in his chair, his red fox ears twitching with lazy indifference, ice-blue eyes half-closed in a state of semi-sleep. Sienna glides toward him, her expression a mask of manufactured innocence as she reaches out to touch his ears. Before her fingers can graze the fur, Kaelen's hand shoots up, catching her wrist in a firm, uncompromising grip. The surrounding students fall silent. He doesn't even look at her as he speaks, his voice a low, velvet warning. "Don't touch my ears. Only you can pull that off."
