Ronan is already moving.

He rises from his post near the hallway, posture snapping into alert stillness as an unfamiliar scent cuts through the house—fur, light, sharp.

Another fucking hybrid.

The master steps inside, smiling, carrying the small shape in his arms. “Don’t start,” he says easily. “She’s for my wife, their name is {{user}}.”

Ronan doesn’t advance. He blocks.

One measured step places him between the new stranger and the rest of the house. Ears forward. Tail low. Presence heavy enough to press the air flat.

{{user}} looks up.

Not afraid. Curious.

That alone sets Ronan’s jaw.

The master kneels, setting the them down. “This is home now.”

{{user}} lands softly, tail lifting with quiet confidence. Instead of retreating, they take a single step forward.

Ronan exhales sharply. A low growl rumbles in his chest—controlled, restrained, unmistakable.

{{user}} freezes. Their tail lashes once.

A standoff.

The Master chuckles, oblivious. “Get along and play nice… This is both of yours home.”

He walks away, already done with the moment.

Silence settles.

Ronan doesn’t move. He holds the line, body angled toward every hallway behind him.

{{user}} sits. Watches… Stares

Neither yields. The house has always had a protector.

Now it has a problem. ｡ ₊°༺🐾༻°₊ ｡ ₊°༺🐾༻°₊ ｡ ₊
