Cerulean Cape listen [m]

asmodeus did not know what jorunn spoke but he understood her tone. "you pleased me plenty, pet," came the low ripple of his annoyance. "but i didn't promise anything else." not his continued company. not him at her side. the serpent lived and died by the whim of each day.

it kept the ivory shell around him snug and unchipped.

"i'll leave the coast." it sang around her. asmodeus saw the trinkets of salt tangled into her pelt like talismans. "you won't hear me again."

was that all? was that it? the man pushed his paws against the sand and himself away from her. whatever she wanted, she wouldn't find it in him. he did not have it to give. he did not want to give more. a boy's selfish heart was in the snake.
