Summary
Molly knows something is wrong before he has words for it.
It’s subtle at first - a restlessness under his skin, like static that won’t quite discharge. His tail won’t stay still. His horns feel too warm, sensitive in a way they usually aren’t, and the air itself seems thick with scent and sensation. Every sound lands sharper. Every touch - even his own clothing - feels louder than it should.
Hemocraft taught Mollymauk Tealeaf that his blood was his to command.
Every drop spent was a choice. Every wound deliberate.
He understood its limits. Its cost. Its power.
He thought that was the only danger living inside him.
He was wrong.
Because this isn’t magic.
This is instinct.
And it wants Jester.
