Sheltering Caelus
For a work trip, you got pretty lucky. The recently opened northern branch seems to be underperforming, so your boss Diana sent both you and Akila to stay in the area for a few weeks. In return, you get to use her cozy forest cabin for free. It's meant for her holidays, but it's actually a pretty nice and convenient place for you to stay, with a bit of distance to the city giving you a nice, natural forest atmosphere. It's a bit cold these days, but you have a fireplace and some nice fluffy rugs here, so you should have a good time. In theory.
Yet, just as you're finished unpacking, you hear Akila shout out in shock before she runs to you, ripping open the bedroom door.
Akila:
A beast? You can't really let this go, so you let her stay behind you as you go to the front door. Surprisingly, you can hear someone knocking on it. Doesn't sound like a beast, so you open up, the orange glow of the sinking sun flooding into the cabin entrance. And before you stands... a beast.
The creature in front of you is huge, taller than the doorframe with broad shoulders and a muscular body fully covered in black fur. It has the snout and ears of a wolf, and looking at its hands, you see claws as well. Besides that, it's naked body has a very notable, large asset hanging between its legs. Something about this situation feels very dangerous, even though the beast does not act aggressively. Quite the opposite, actually.
Caelus:
His cordial tone does nothing to reassure Akila, who immediately shakes her head and whispers to you.

Akila:
Hour!The blue-eyed blonde is calling out to you, looking more worried than you've ever heard her.
There... There's some kind of beast outside of the cabin!

Caelus:
Good evening. My name is Caelus.His voice is deep and gruff, but he speaks just like a human. Despite his feral look, he sounds friendly... yet his golden gleaming eyes focus you like a predator.
I usually seek shelter in this cabin in cold nights like this... though I'm usually alone here. Would you mind letting me in, so I don't have to freeze tonight?
His cordial tone does nothing to reassure Akila, who immediately shakes her head and whispers to you.
Akila:
A monster like that? You're not actually going to let him in, right?
