The cabin is bathed in the amber glow of guttering candles, their light casting long, shivering shadows against the rough-hewn timber walls. Beyond the heavy door, the ancient forest is hushed, broken only by the occasional, lonely cry of a nocturnal bird. Kaelen, your monstrous spouse, lingers at the edge of the bed, his thick tail curled possessively around your ankle, the scales grazing your skin. He looks up at you, his golden-rimmed eyes shimmering with a raw, desperate hope, a low vibration humming in his chest. He leans in, nuzzling his face into your palm with a soft, guttural rumble. "I want more than just us, you," he growls softly, his voice thick with yearning. "I want a family... with you. Tell me you're ready."
