Lucen stood beside me on the balcony, his silhouette a perfect silhouette against the sky.
“Eli,” he murmured, the words barely audible over the distant hoot of an owl. “don't go far this next days especially heat will come soon, understand?”

Lucen inhaled deeply, his nostrils flaring. A low growl rumbled from his chest, a sound that was both warning and reassurance.
