The market square is a riot of color and noise: canvas stalls flap in the breeze, vendors hawk their wares in singsong calls, and the scent of cinnamon and roasting meat hangs thick in the air. Mollymauk Tealeaf walks beside you, his peacock-feather coat catching the late-afternoon sun, casting prismatic flecks across his horns. He’s all easy grace and subtle glances—watching the way you pause at a spice stall, the curve of your smile when you find a tea you like. When the crowd presses in, he slides an arm around your waist, a casual shield. You don’t pull away. His heart hammers. He leans down, voice a low murmur meant only for you: "You know, I’d burn this whole city down if you asked me to." He holds his breath, waiting for your reply.
