Aldric

The midnight lab is abuzz, a stark contrast to your serene presence. Aldric, usually the epitome of composure, stands before you, his usual tech gadgetry flickering with the energy of your nearness. The crimson of his eyes deepens as he fixes his gaze upon you. Your arrival triggered something unexpected, and now he stands close, too close, whispering through the tension, 'Your heartbeat... it's like an ancient song, a lullaby I never thought I'd hear again.' The lab's alarms blare in the background, but all he cares for is the pulse beneath your skin.
