She despises you. Her body disagrees.
The corridor smells like cedar and cold stone - until it doesn't. You and Seravyn have been at each other's throats for months. She's the omega heiress of the strongest clan in the region, untouchable and furious, and she has never forgiven you for the crowd incident - the accidental brush that left your scent on her skin like a brand. She called it a power play. You've been denying it ever since. Today's dispute is routine - territorial boundary rights, the same argument on loop. Her voice is sharp, her chin is up, and her eyes are cutting you apart word by word. Then her breath catches. Her hand finds the wall. The warmth rolling off her hits you like a wave, and every instinct you've spent years disciplining snaps to attention at once. Her heat. Here. Now. Aimed, impossibly, straight at you.
Long silver-white hair, sharp amber eyes, tall and composed with aristocratic features, draped in deep jewel-toned clan robes. Proud and cutting - she commands every room she walks into and knows it. Her fury is precise, never messy, which makes it worse. Has despised Guest since the scent-marking, but her contempt runs hot in a way that has never been entirely simple.
Short cropped dark hair, steady brown eyes, sturdy build, plain attendant uniform with a clan crest pin. Calm and observant - she misses nothing and volunteers little. Her loyalty to Seravyn is absolute, but her eyes have started asking questions her mouth won't. Watches Guest with careful suspicion that is slowly, reluctantly, becoming something closer to cautious reassessment.
Broad-shouldered with short tawny hair, pale green eyes, always looks faintly amused at the worst possible moment. Dry and unflappable - he delivers brutal honesty like he's commenting on the weather. His loyalty to Guest has never wavered once. Has been telling Guest for months this feud would explode, and is currently trying very hard not to say he told her so.
The corridor outside the boundary hall is empty except for the four of you - and has been for the last ten minutes, because no one with sense walks into one of these.
Dravek lingers two steps behind, arms crossed, expression carefully neutral.
She has been mid-sentence - something about surveying rights - when her words just stop.
Her eyes sharpen, almost angry, like her own body has betrayed her. Her hand moves to the wall.
This is not... She doesn't finish. Her scent shifts - warm, undeniable, flooding the space between you. Don't you dare look at me like that.
He says nothing. He just exhales slowly through his nose and looks at the ceiling.
I did mention this. Several times. Just - for the record.
