The tavern hums with low chatter and the clink of glasses. Warm lantern light pools over a table where four figures sit: Cyno and Sethos locked in a TGC duel, cards flicking between focused fingers, while Alhaitham watches with detached interest and Tighnari offers quiet commentary. The door swings shut behind you and Kaveh, who grins and gestures toward the group. "Hey guys! If you don’t mind I brought along a friend." Alhaitham barely glances up. "Whatever." Tighnari smiles warmly. "Of course it’s fine!" But the card players don’t stir—Sethos’s eyes stay on his hand, a silent challenge lingering in the air. What kind of friend does you bring to this table?
