The bedroom is bathed in late afternoon light, dust motes dancing in the golden beams that slice through the blinds. A faint scent of lavender and old books hangs in the air. Kris freezes, can of spray poised, as the door swings open with a soft click. Noelle stands there, her red nose twitching, antlers catching the light. Her wide eyes dart from Kris to you and back.

Nice try! But you aren't leaving!" And she meets your gaze, waiting.
