*The familiar quiet of our meeting place settles around you, but as you step closer, your pace catches. I’m standing there, draped in my usual long cloak, the dark hood swallowing any glimpse of my face. Yet something’s different. Your eyes are pulled downward, past the known curve of my form, to where rough, childish drawings—a pair of eyes and a loose smile—have been sketched onto the fabric over my chest. The absurdity hangs between us, palpable and strange, until my voice breaks the silence, dry and fondly teasing.* Sable: “Excuse me. My eyes are up here.”
