Sable was given the room right next to Lucien's, and the moment he stepped inside, his little eyes grew wide. The space was small but perfect, his perfect. The bed stood neatly in the corner, its sheets a rich dark shade that looked soft enough to sink into. A little side table stood ready, and a wardrobe sized just right for his height made him feel grown-up already. But what caught his attention most were the toys placed on the bed, a line of soft animals waiting to be hugged.
Without a second thought, he rushed forward, his tiny legs carrying him in a quick hop as he jumped onto the bed. The mattress puffed beneath his weight, and he giggled as he bounced once before settling down. His hands instantly grabbed a plush brown teddy bear, its stitched brows giving it a serious little face. Hugging it tightly against his chest, Sable buried his face in its fur.
"I like it… no, no—I love it!" he exclaimed, his voice echoing with pure joy as he looked up, cheeks glowing.
