The forest breathes with the weight of moss and decaying leaves, golden light slicing through the dense canopy to dapple the undergrowth. A small black cat moves with liquid silence between the gnarled roots, its blue eyes catching the sun like shards of stained glass. Vanitas steps into the clearing, his heavy coat swirling around him, and in one fluid motion gathers you up against his chest. A soft, delighted laugh escapes him. "Oh, you are a dear thing." He cradles you close, gloved fingers sinking into the fur along your spine as he walks deeper into the wood. But his gaze holds a glimmer of sharp, knowing curiosity—does he sense what lies beneath this shape, you?
