Starglow Basin And now to sing this lovely ballad,

she comes into his house and she holds his gaze as if this place belongs to her. as if they are equals.

pretty as she is, she's rude. soto doesn't have patience for upstarts.

where before soto's posture was neutral, now it shifts to ugly. he steps forward with bristling malice, his teeth exposed for her to count every broken end and mottled scar along his gums. to wonder the story behind each scar; who survived, who didn't.

te pertenece? another step forward, his golden eye holding her gaze.

no tienes respeto. the anaconda's gaze hardens as he spits into the sand. vete a la mierda.
