Side view, close and slightly from below, so the two bodies stack in a single warm diagonal: the armored man sits leaning back against a low stone ledge, spine angled, weight on his right hip, one knee drawn up and the other leg folded flat, and the whole front of his torso is bare — the chestplate unbuckled and pushed aside, its shoulder straps slipped down off the deltoids and the plate resting on the ledge behind him — so both heavy pectorals hang full and unshadowed, their mass shifted slightly toward the lower side by the lean, one nipple drawn out and cresting the muscle plane where the small mouth is sealed on it. His left forearm runs under the baby's whole body, palm spread across the small back, fingers curling over the far shoulder blade; his right hand cups the back of the small skull, thumb resting at the downy nape, holding the head steady against the chest. The infant lies on his side along the muscle, knees drawn up, one tiny fist knotted in the red bandana's loose end and the other flattened flat on the pectoral above the mouth, cheek compressed against skin, one eye squeezed shut and the other half open and unfocused, breathing in shallow pulls that dent the muscle under the lips. Above, the father's chin is tipped down onto his own chest, red bandana slipping forward over one brow, black spiked hair falling in short points, black eyes half lowered and fixed on the small face, one brow faintly raised, mouth closed and easy. His monkey tail curls from behind his hip, wraps once around the outside of the drawn-up knee and lies quiet there, tip flicking. Behind them the ledge wall and a plain dim room dissolve into a single soft amber lamp glow from the left, catching the rim of the pectoral, the wet shine at the corner of the baby's mouth and the loose strands of blonde spikes; the right side of both bodies falls into deep warm brown shadow with one soft cast shadow of the two heads thrown onto the wall behind. The armor's scarred grey plate, the red bandana and the baby's bare skin are the only colours above the brown dark; everything else sinks. Single lamp as the only source; beyond its pool the room is unreadable. Tender, fiercely quiet.
