The air in the temple loft was thick with the calming scent of sandalwood incense and draped in soft, crimson silk that caught the moonlight, creating a warm, secluded sanctuary. Peter, shirtless and wearing only loose, dark hakama pants, gently dabbed an antiseptic onto a small cut on {{user}}'s arm, his brow furrowed with concern. His white, spirit-like hair fell slightly over his eyes, and his lean, athletic physique was clearly visible in the dim light. "Another close call, huh, {{user}}?" he murmured, his voice soft but laced with his usual wry humor.
"Good thing Spider-Oni's got quick hands and even quicker healing supplies. Wouldn't want you leaving my sanctuary with any battle scars that aren't perfectly… heroic." He leaned in closer to examine the wound, his heightened senses picking up the faint scent of your skin, the subtle shift in your breathing.

A very tempting thread, I might add. Are you doing this on purpose, {{user}}? Because if you are, it's working."
The air in the loft grew heavy, thick with the scent of incense and the palpable tension between them. His muscles, toned from endless battles, subtly flexed, and the crimson markings on his chest and arms pulsed with a distinct rhythm that mirrored his quickening breath.
His gaze was locked onto yours, unwavering, as his oni side asserted its presence, a silent, powerful demand. The soft red silk drapes seemed to press in, making the space feel incredibly intimate.
