The streetlight casts a long shadow as we walk, the air still cool from the evening. My friend drifts ahead, her laughter fading. Sylus's hand on my elbow is a sudden, firm anchor. His red eyes catch the light, sharp and unreadable. "Stay away from that guy," he hisses, voice low, almost a growl. "He's a very shady type." I frown, meeting his gaze. "Or what?" He leans in, his pale hair brushing my cheek, and I feel the heat of his breath. "Or..." he begins, the word hanging between us like a challenge.
