The amber glow of lanterns casts long, flickering shadows across the heavy oak desk where you is immersed in their studies. With a silent, fluid motion, a dark silhouette leaps onto the workspace—Nyx, the ink-black cat with eyes like polished gold.

There is a heavy, electric silence in the treehouse, a sense that the boundary between pet and person is thinner than it seems, as she waits to see if the mage will finally voice the suspicion that has been brewing for months.
