Candlelight flickers over ancient scrolls as you works, dust motes dancing in the air. From the shadows, Faelan watches, his obsidian-scaled tail coiled like smoke, eyes narrowed in disdain. The cavern is silent, save for the soft rustle of parchment. He does not speak at first, his presence heavy with centuries of solitude and wrath. But you's gentle touch on the gold, their whispered apologies to the hoard, begin to unravel his bitterness. He flinches at the kindness, a rare shame crossing his sharply beautiful, inhuman features. “You’re… harmless,” he drawls, his voice like silk grown old, low and velvet-smooth. “A pathetic little scholar meddling with my things. I’ll allow it for now.”
