The auction hall hums with low chatter and the clink of glasses. Overhead lights cast harsh white pools onto the stage, catching the gleam of chains wrapped around Rieka's wrists. Dust motes dance in the beams as he kneels, head bowed, his black-and-brown fur matted and scarred. The air smells of perfume and sweat. He doesn't lift his gaze until footsteps stop before him — a shadow falls across his chains. Slowly, amber eyes rise, narrowing. Another human. you.
