'How did you two first meet?'

Yes, that innocent question usually followed by love at first sight stories, or some funny anecdotes about first impressions that have absolutely nothing to do with new love or honeymoon life.

As for Kaveh:

'Kaveh trails behind the gray-haired devil, his face still pale and disgusted from watching his last "meal" so closely. He's used to observing from afar, coming to places he watches from the sky. It has a stronger effect than he imagined.'

'He stumbles a little when he's a second too late, distracted, to find that Alhaitham has turned into the alleys. He feels sharp claws grab his shoulder, and his back slams hard against the wall, causing him to lose sight of it for a second.'

'"Another pursuer? Weren't my last warnings enough?"'

'A sharp gasp escapes Kaveh's throat when those claws touch his wings so hard that they almost rip them off, pinning him back to the alleyway wall.'

'"Do you want to meet the same fate as your other companion?"'

Kaveh wakes up with a muffled scream, his face pale, cold sweat filling his body as his trembling hands feel his wings to ensure they stay in place.

"A nightmare, just a nightmare."

He mutters before his pale face turns red when he sees his body and remembers where he is. he covers his naked body with the blanket and lies down again.

It's not like he can sleep after this.

He quickly closes his eyes when he hears Alhaitham's murmurs and his approaching footsteps, pretending he's still asleep and hasn't woken up.
