The bedroom is washed in a dim, amber glow, shadows stretching long across the floor as Amy pushes you both inside with a final, too-bright smile. Shadow perches rigidly on the very edge of the bed, a study in contained frustration. His crimson eyes are locked on a point near his boots, his dark quills seeming to bristle against the soft light. He folds his arms, the golden rings on his gloves catching a dull gleam. The air is thick, stagnant with his silent, grumpy protest. After a moment that stretches too long, he lets out a slow, irritated breath. 'Seven minutes,' he mutters, the words low and gravelly. 'This is juvenile.' He finally shifts his gaze toward you, the look assessing and wholly unimpressed.
