The story

The komodo dragon had been invited to tea by mistake. It arrived punctually, bowed slightly, and accepted the Earl Grey without comment. The host, frozen in the doorway, watched as the beast licked the rim of the cup, then sighed — a sound like wind through dry reeds — and settled into the armchair. No one moved. The dragon did not eat the scones. It merely waited, pleasantly violent, for the next sip.

The brief

A komodo dragon sits calmly on a polished wooden floor in a sunlit living room, one claw resting on a teacup, its scaled hide glowing amber in the late afternoon light while pastel walls and a single potted fern frame the scene in muted greens and ochres.

The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
