// Sweet shot of kerosene //
Vesper doesn’t resist when her fingers brush his face, when they tilt his chin up like he’s still a boy she’s coaxing to meet her gaze. His lashes flicker low for a moment, shadows shifting like restless smoke around his boots, but when he looks at her there’s no hiding the glint of something sharp and fond in his eyes.
"One thing at a time," he echoes, voice a rough murmur of obedience, though the corner of his mouth tugs in a crooked smirk that says it chafes him a little, as it always does. Still, he bows his head slightly—not out of worship, not out of duty, but something closer to trust. To blood.
Without hesitation, he leans in and presses a kiss to Safrin’s cheek—quick, but not careless, the way only a son raised by shadows and starlight could. Then he steps back, the scent of jasmine and salt lingering in his nose, his shadows furling tighter around his ankles as if reluctant to leave.
"Night, ma," Vesper says, voice low and rough, before he turns and slips back into the darkness, the light of the candles flickering in his wake as the shrine returns to quiet, glowing vigil.
