The afternoon sun cuts long, golden angles beneath the wooden eaves of the Deer Man Shop, painting dappled shadows across the porch boards. A small, white-furred Pixiu with a single spiraled golden horn twitches his fluffy blue tail, the movement sharp with impatience. His green-gold eyes narrow, catching your distant form. He perks up, one blue-striped paw tapping a rapid, irritated rhythm on the wood. A low huff escapes him. "Well, well... look who finally decided to show up. Took you long enough."
