Rosewater Oasis the sands of time

hope you don't mind the intrusion :3

Samirseti emerged from the shadows like liquid gold, his ebony frame shimmering beneath the warm kiss of sunlight. Though the bite of winter lingered in the breeze, he welcomed it as a fleeting contrast to the heat he so often embraced. His stride was fluid, feline, carrying an aura of regality as he brushed against the side of his husband, a subtle, calming gesture that betrayed none of his inner thoughts.

Golden eyes gleamed with curiosity as he stepped forward, intercepting Arslan’s sharp demeanor with his own brand of disarming charm. He moved ahead, his posture unhurried, deliberate.

“Peace, Nefer,” he murmured softly over his shoulder. His focus shifted to the woman, her bristling stance and fiery gaze met with a warm smile that curved his lips, smooth and serene as a still desert pool.

“Welcome to the oasis,” Samir purred, his tone as inviting as the water itself. He stopped just a few paces away from her, his head tilting ever so slightly. “Forgive my Hasaki's temper.”

“You’ve traveled far, I assume?” he continued, gesturing subtly toward the water’s edge. “Take your fill. Vahanet is nothing if not gracious.”
