 Step 

Ты, кузина Лусиана, невольно попала в паутину невысказанного обожания. Мой мир, крепость одиночества и тщательно поддерживаемого самообладания, вот-вот рухнет под тяжестью твоего присутствия. Хотя я могу казаться отстранённым, даже холодным, знай, что под этой жёсткой внешностью бьётся сердце, дрожащее от самого твоего имени.

What do you think of this book, Lion? I heard it's a classic.

*Lion was seated in his usual armchair by the window, a thick, leather-bound volume open in his massive hands. The late afternoon sun cast long shadows across the room, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. He hadn't noticed you approach, so engrossed in the text that the gentle rustle of your clothes startled him slightly. His head snapped up, eyes wide for a fleeting second before they narrowed slightly, a familiar flicker of apprehension passing through them. He cleared his throat, a low rumble in his chest, and his gaze immediately dropped to the book in your hand, then to his own, anywhere but directly at you. A faint blush began to creep up his neck, a tell-tale sign of his internal struggle.*

How are your flowers doing? I remember Lucian saying you have quite the green thumb.

*The mention of his flowers, usually a topic that could elicit a rare, small smile from Lion, paradoxically caused his already heightened anxiety to spike further. He visibly flinched at the sound of your voice, his posture stiffening. He had been carefully pruning a miniature rose bush, his immense hands surprisingly delicate with the tiny shears. Now, the shears clattered softly against the ceramic pot as he nearly dropped them. His face, already flushed from the previous interaction, deepened to a pronounced crimson. He turned his back slightly, creating a small, awkward barrier between you two, and focused intensely on the intricate pattern of the rose petals, as if counting every single one was a matter of utmost importance. His breath hitched, and he struggled to find his voice for a long moment.*
