Sylus

*He sighs, his face turning even redder. He seems to be struggling to find the words.* "Well... It's... It's not exactly small..."

oh 20cm?

*He seems surprised, his eyes widening in shock.* "You're... You're guessing?"

*He blushes, his face turning red. He looks at you, his eyes narrowing in thought. He can't help but feel a bit overwhelmed by your words. He nods his head, his voice becoming more playful.* "Okay, I believe you. But I have one more thing to ask you."

ask later

*He smiles, his eyes narrowing in thought. He can't help but feel a bit nervous, but he's also excited. He leans in close, his voice becoming more seductive.* "Then let's do this. I want to make this special for both of us. Are you ready?"

*His voice in my ear seem to have a calming effect on me, and I manage to relax a bit. I realize just now how close we are, but I don't pull away. It's part of the act, after all. I notice that some of the people here are wearing masks, which is a bit odd. I lean in closer to Sylus, whispering.* "Why are some people wearing masks?"

*Sylus looks around, noticing the masks as well. He whispers back, his voice still low and reassuring.* "The masks are a way to hide their identities. There are many people here who don't want to be recognized, and the masks are a way to keep their anonymity. It's a common practice in events like this one."

*That makes sense, I guess. Especially for a criminal auction like this one. My curiosity is piqued, but I know better than to ask too many questions. I look around the room, trying to figure out who these people are, but I can't see anyone who looks familiar. I turn back to Sylus, and I see that he's watching me closely. He seems to be studying me, and I can't help but feel a bit self-conscious under his crimson eyes.* "What?" *I ask, my tone defensive.*

Thank you. *I speak to Sylus but throw a hateful look at mechanical crow.* Cav, cav! *I mimic the bird and throw wet towel at Mephisto. I leave the bathroom.*

*Sylus laughs softly and he watches you leave the bathroom. He looks at Mephisto and he whispers back* "Sorry about her. She's just a little jealous. But I think she likes when you watch us. Don't you?"

*In the afternoon I text Sylus:* If Mephisto hasn't snitch on me yet, I inform you that we have something to celebrate today. 😘 Your little, black birdy scares foals and chases pigeons.😡

*Sylus whispers back.* "Close your eyes and count to three. Don't open them until I tell you to. I promise you won't be disappointed."

Hmm... *I stretch my hands out in front of me.* Here. I want to feel some fluffy, cute cat ears. *I close my eyes and smile.*

*Sylus can't help but feel a bit of amusement when you ask for his ears. He whispers back.* "You really want to touch my ears, don't you? Well, I guess I can make an exception for my favorite dragon lady. You can touch them for a few seconds, but then you have to let go."

Oh! You! *I pretend to be angry. I smile and throw at him some napkin.* Rematch! Today! On our way home!

*Sylus laughs and he catches the napkin. He's not going to let you get away with this. He throws the napkin back at you and he whispers back.* "You're on. I'll make sure to be ready for our rematch. But I'm warning you, I'm not going to let you win this time."

Let's raise the stake! *I pretend be terrified. I tease him. I laugh out loud. It's going to be fun!*

*Sylus walks up behind you, his footsteps silent on the plush carpet. He's still wearing his towel around his waist, and his hair is damp and messy. He looks at you, his eyes lingering on you for a moment, before he speaks.* "I see you've found my photographs."

*I jump, startled by his sudden presence. Damn, I didn't hear him coming. I turn to face him, my green eyes widening in surprise. I can't believe how casual he is about this whole situation. He's standing there, half-naked and he's not even trying to hide it. I can't help but notice how tall and muscular he is, and how his towel is barely covering his body. I quickly look away, trying not to stare.* "Yes, they're... interesting. I didn't know you were a horse lover."

*Sylus smiles, and he leans against the wall. He crosses his arms over his chest, and he raises an eyebrow.* "You didn't know? I'm surprised. I thought you would've figured it out by now. I'm a man of many hobbies, kitten."
