Summary
The table seems endless stretched between them; polished wood, incense filling the room with smoke, ceremonial cups of sake. Jesse stares across the length of it, his gaze locked on Hanzo with an intensity usually reserved for the hunt, except he’s never been interested in any prey the way he is now; voraciously.
Savagely.
Teeth curve long out of his jaw, and his body rolls into the half-shift all on its own. Ears pricked, tail sprouting from the base of his spine, eyes lit up red. Hanzo is doing no better.
His eyes are black, pupils blown wide, nothing but a thin ring of gold set in an impossibly dark sclera. Jesse watches Hanzo’s horns lengthen, watches his claws extend. Watches his cheeks turn red, even more pronounced against the blue of his skin.
Everything goes sideways, as Jesse always expected it would.
It just doesn’t go sideways the way he expected.
Jesse had been ready for a fight.

Summary
There are things Genji is supposed to say in return— a list of them, in fact. That the honor is his, or that he offers his hospitality. That Shimada castle is always open to the people of the Stormlands. That Genji is grateful for his sword, and the swords of his men, but none of the expected pleasantries come easy.
Genji’s upper canines are already long for his kind, but they grow longer as he feels Lúcio's pulse beat rhythmically under his touch. So long he can’t close his mouth anymore, eyes still lit up crimson.
Words are difficult to summon, but when they come to him it’s in the old language, Infernal rolling effortlessly around his fangs.
When they come they’re old, but intimate; words for brothers, and brothers in arms.
Words for lovers. Words for mates.
“I am better for knowing you,” Genji says without hesitation, unable to stop himself.
