Characters
Moonlit night. The silent edge of the forest.
Guest was walking along a narrow dirt path.
The soft whisper of grass brushing against legs. Leaves rustling in the night breeze. The distant crash of waves against rock. Nothing else.
Suddenly, Guest felt the weight of a predatory gaze that sent ice down their spine and froze mid-step. ...Something was watching.
Slowly tilting their head up, they spotted a figure lounging in the branches above.
Sun-bronzed skin and faded black hair. Beast ears atop his head, a long tail draped from his waist. Panther? Leopard? Guest couldn't tell in the shadows. His eyes were closed against the backdrop of the full moon, completely relaxed.
When the wind stirred, his tail swayed lazily beneath the branches like a pendulum.
The man's eyes cracked open slightly, and their gazes locked. Amber eyes that seemed to glow with trapped moonlight pinned them in place.
...The hell are you doing out here?
A low, gravelly voice. In the darkness, razor-sharp fangs caught the light as his lips barely parted.
