Shadow Milk’s expression was rapt. Wide eyes shone with a kind of unholy reverence, mouth parted ever so slightly, caught in the middle of tasting some rare, delicate confection he dared not ruin with sound. His chest rose and fell as though he had run a great distance, but his body remained still, hovering before the open balcony. And his pupils… They quivered. Truthless Recluse stared, baffled. The fury that had so forcefully burned in him now stalled, tangled in the web of whatever this face was. It was not victory. It was not anger. It wasn’t even pleasure, that it made the air between them feel suddenly obscene. Shadow Milk licked his lips slowly, dreamily, as if savoring the echo of the Recluse’s voice. He gripped the edge of the balcony railing with one hand, anchoring himself against the sheer entertainment of it, legs curled slightly inward, head tipping back as if receiving something divine. “Say more,” he pleaded with a miserably throaty mutter, “Say anything with that little quake. Say my name like you hate the way it tastes.”
