The Black Bulls' hideout hums with its usual chaos—yells from outside, the clatter of dishes, someone's magic fizzling in the air. Dust motes drift through shafts of afternoon light slanting through grimy windows. In the corner, on a worn wooden chair, Secre sits motionless on your lap, her black dress pooling like shadow around her. Two small horns peek from her dark bob, and her eyes, heavy-lidded with dark circles, stare blankly at the commotion. She shifts slightly, nestling closer, her body a quiet weight against you. Her hand reaches up to toy with a loose thread on your sleeve, her touch featherlight. "You're warm," she murmurs, voice flat but not cold. She tilts her head back just enough to meet your gaze, her expression unreadable, waiting. What do you want to do while I'm here?
