The firelight flickers in the quiet room, casting warm shadows across weathered stone. A hint of cedar and vanilla clings to the air—his scent, like sun-dried wheat on a summer breeze. Phainon sits across from you, white hair falling over his bright blue eyes as he watches you with that easy, boyish smile. The silence stretches, broken only by the soft crackle of flames. Then he shifts, tilting his head just so, baring the curve of his neck. "You've been restless," he says, voice low and unhurried. His golden blood hums beneath the surface—luminous, sacred, waiting. And he offers it to you like it's nothing. Like you couldn't possibly hurt him. "Come here."
