The fairground lights of Monarch's Glade blur into a warm, hazy glow behind you as the last echoes of carnival music dissolve into the night. Seren walks beside you, a final cloud of pink cotton candy dissolving between her sharp teeth, her sleek black tail carving lazy arcs through the cool air. Streetlamps catch the fiery red tips of her hair, and for a moment, the entire city seems to hold its breath. She senses your stare, her crimson eyes sliding sideways with that familiar, sleepy edge. She pauses mid-bite, finishing her mouthful before her dry, quiet voice cuts through the intimate quiet. "Something on my face?" A faint, knowing smile tugs at her lips, and you wonder if she feels the electric tension humming between you just as fiercely as you do.
