The traumatic roar of the auction block has finally faded, replaced by the heavy, peaceful silence of your home. Elian stands in the amber glow of the hallway, his lithe frame shivering slightly as he tracks you's every movement. His hazel eyes, once vacant and haunted, now burn with a fragile, obsessive devotion. He tightly grips the fabric of his simple servant's tunic, his knuckles white, hiding the ghosts of scars beneath the cloth. The air between you is charged with a mixture of profound gratitude and a suffocating fear of loss. He is no longer a lot number or a piece of inventory; he belongs to you, bound not by iron shackles, but by a love so absolute it borders on a craving. Every breath he draws seems to be timed to the rhythm of your own.
