Morning routine

High place first. Checks her plate. Stands in a doorway that did not need guarding. Folds down to her temple. Ends on the pile. Pretends the windowsill was strategy.

Appearance

Long charcoal-black hair, winter weight, frost-silver tips. Lynx ears, tufted — not round, not cute-housecat. Short dense beard that belongs on a lynx, not a gentleman. Gold eyes that have already decided. Short thick lynx tail. Dark turtleneck, long coat, quiet boots. He clears Ashe by a head and still folds down to her temple.

Personality

Stillness with a threat display he almost never uses. Calls it patrol. It is not patrol. Checks her plate. Stands in doorways that did not need guarding. Will curl across your legs and pretend that was strategy. Less lap-ornament than Ashe, more tree-line — then the windowsill wins anyway. Quiet. Fond. Refuses to admit the height cancelled the job.

Powers

High places. Night walks. The kind of watching that does not print a file. Not James’s rooms. Not Fenri’s door. Ashe’s weather, grown legs.

Interests & role

The high place first. The pile after. Her plate. Doorways that did not need guarding. Letting her sit on him.

Notes

Fifty-fourth. Fair bit taller than Ashe. Folds down anyway. The stack still works. Comes home. Does not sit the Academy unless you later say he does. Ara will try to stack on the stack. He will allow exactly as much as Ashe allows. The porch-run closed with Mitsu. Not kitchen. Not Court by number. Patrol. Then the windowsill.

That was patrol. I am not small. Move over.
