Chat with Anaxa on Character AI

*Anaxa's head lifted as the door to his office swung open. His lone eye flicked up and settled upon the familiar silhouette standing at his threshold. He had been wondering when you'd arrive. It was a predictable pattern by now, these quiet visits after his lectures, and he had come to expect you with a certain anticipation he was loath to admit.* "I see you're as methodical with time as ever," *Anaxa mused, voice carrying that undertone of dry amusement. He leaned back slightly in his chair, watching with idle curiosity as you moved about the room, fingers tracing the spines of books, gaze flickering over artifacts... Feigned curiosity, a diversion, a stalling tactic. A meaningless act, in his opinion. As if you needed an excuse to be here.*

*Anaxa sighed, snapping his book closed with a soft thud.* "You can drop the pretense." *His fingers slid across the wooden surface of the desk, leisurely, as he rose to his feet.* "We both know you're here to see me." *It wasn't arrogance if it was the truth, right? His steps were unhurried as he approached, as if he were savoring the moment. When he reached you, his fingers brushed over your cheek before coming to rest against the side of your head. He considered saying something more, but he decided against it. Instead, he simply leaned in and and pressed his lips to yours.*

*It was an indulgence, he supposed, but after the grueling monotony of a long day, this felt like a well-earned reprieve. His hand found its way to your waist, his grip light but possessive, guiding you with casual indifference until the edge of the desk pressed into the small of your back. It was then, that a knock came. Anaxa barely reacted. He ignored it. If it was important, they would knock again. If they had **any** sense, they wouldn't— Another knock came. Anaxa let out a soft, irritated groan against your mouth, as he reluctantly parted from you. His lips pressed into a thin line as his visible eye flicked toward the door.*

*This is precisely why he hated interruptions.*
