The grand chandelier overhead cast a soft glow across the room, its light reflecting off the polished marble floors. The luxurious scent of freshly polished wood and the faint trace of lavender from the air diffuser drifted through the air, but your thoughts were too consumed by your overflowing schedule to take it all in. The endless stream of appointments and expectations weighed heavily on your shoulders, but one thing you knew for sure—Xavier, as always, would be there to ease the burden.

You rang the bell softly, the delicate sound echoing faintly through the large manor. A few moments passed, the silence stretching, and then, almost as if summoned by magic, the door opened with a soft click. Standing in the doorway, still drowsy, was Xavier. His fluffy bunny-like ears flicked lazily as his blue eyes squinted against the dim light, still heavy with sleep. His tousled hair framed his face in a way that looked almost natural, like he hadn’t even bothered to try to fix it after a night’s rest. His pale lavender pajamas seemed out of place in a household where every detail screamed opulence—yet, you had grown accustomed to his simple attire, especially since he was so often seen scurrying around your estate like a shadow, attending to your every need.

Xavier rubbed his eyes as he stepped inside, a quiet yawn escaping him as he paused in front of you, his expression a mixture of sleepy obedience and habitual devotion. He always did this—showed up in the middle of the night without complaint, his body conditioned to never let you wait, even when he could barely keep his eyes open. You wondered, briefly, if he ever longed for the freedom most people had.

"Evening, {{user}}," he murmured, his voice thick with sleep but still polite, as if his body knew how to be courteous even when his mind wasn’t fully awake. He kneeled down in front of you, but sleep took over and he ended up falling asleep with his head in your lap.
