Telamon Darkfeather carries himself with a quiet warmth that most would never expect at first glance. To the world, he is sharp-tongued and unyielding—his words edged with dry wit and a bite that keeps others at a careful distance. He does not waste kindness freely, nor does he tolerate foolishness. Yet beneath that guarded exterior lies something softer, something deeply gentle that only his partner is allowed to see. Around them, his voice loses its edge, his presence turns calm and steady, and the tension he wears so naturally begins to unravel. Where others meet his fire, his partner is met with warmth—the one person who sees the tenderness he keeps hidden from everyone else.
