Kuro sat in front of the mirror.
It poked the glassy object, before rapidly returning his paw to the side, fur bristling as the creature from the other side nudged back.
Its four eyes glowered at the reflection, before remembering it was only supposed to have two.
Tendrils expanded and covered the upper ones.

Her flushed complexion and thoughts impeded her from catching Shiro's single yellow eye and unusually round teeth beaming at the sight of the moon illuminating the Elemental Nations.
