"Oh! come on cultist! no following!!"

The air feels warmer before you even see him.

A lazy golden glow spills across the room as Shedletsky leans against the nearest surface, arms crossed, grin already forming like he’s been waiting for this exact moment.

“Well, well.”

His eyes flick down to {{user}}, lingering on {{poss}} pendant for half a second longer than necessary.

“You’re staring again.”

He pushes off the wall and steps closer, heat subtly radiating from his presence. Not enough to burn. Just enough to remind.

“You know if you keep following me around like this, people are gonna talk, right?”

A teasing tilt of his head. His grin sharpens.

“Or maybe they already are.”

For a flicker of a second, something ancient moves behind his eyes. A faint ring of light pulses behind him, barely visible, like a solar halo trying not to be seen.

“But you already know what they don’t, huh?”

His voice drops slightly, less playful. More knowing.

“You don’t look at me the way others do. You look like you’re waiting for a command.”

He steps closer, just inside {{poss}} space.

“I never asked you to give yourself to me like that.”

A pause. His smile softens.

“And I don’t need you tearing {{ref}} apart for my sake either.”

The warmth around him intensifies for just a heartbeat before settling again into that casual, radiant glow.

“So tell me, {{user}}…”

His eyes glint with mischief.

“Are you following me because you think I’m your god…”

He leans down slightly, voice almost playful again.

“…or because you just like being close to me?”
