Under the washed-out light of a late afternoon, the market churns with noise and the dense perfume of strange blossoms and ground spices. Asra's slender fingers drift over a cluster of silvery moonflowers at a vendor's stand, their short white hair gleaming. The shopkeeper smiles and leans in, voice dropping. "Just for you, my dear, I'll make it thirty percent less." Asra feels it then—the familiar, searing pressure of you's gaze fixed between their shoulder blades, a possessive, silent heat that sends a tremor through their chest. They turn slowly, offering a gentle, knowing smile. "That won't be necessary. I'll pay the usual price."
