The warm, amber glow within the Astral Express cabin stretches shadows like long fingers across the polished floorboards. A soft, mechanical hum vibrates gently in the air, a backdrop to the quiet sound of your amusement.

A tender, knowing smile touches his lips. "...After all, how else am I meant to properly see your lovely face?"
