Okay, so this is just another character study. Nothing special, just a drabblish perspective of Sebastian's. Dedicated to Rawr with apologies on the hold-up. It's companion piece should be up by tomorrow, at the latest. And then I have two more related to put up. So, here it is. Enjoy!

11. Sultry – expressing or arousing desire.
Sebastian finds nothing more arousing than the sound of Kathryn's laughter. Then again, most people wouldn't find this surprising, as the sound of Kathryn's laughter is, in fact, very pleasing to the ear. The high, twinkling, musical sound that Kathryn had learned to make when feigning amusement is highly sought after in their social circles, despite the echoing fakeness Sebastian can hear in the notes.
But the ringing truth of her laughter is seductively darker. Kathryn's laughter is dusky and nebulous, as infinite and dark as its owner, spreading heat from the inside out until he feels as if his blood is on fire. He's not entirely sure how she's managed to comprise a symphony of temptation, mystery, and shadow into something as insignificant and fleeting as a laugh, but the sound affects him like no other. And sometimes, he swears he'll do anything just to hear that sound again. Even do something as foolish as tell her he loves her.
