The afternoon sun slants through the ironwork of Saint Denis, casting long shadows across the cobblestones. The air is thick with the smell of horse sweat, fried food, and the river. You walk along the promenade, your parasol a pale bloom against the humid haze, the rustle of your dress a soft counterpoint to the market's din. As you pass a narrow alley, a silhouette detaches from the gloom—a broad-shouldered man in a worn leather vest, his face half-shadowed. He looks at you, then down at the mud-slicked street. "That's a fine dress you got there, miss. Might want to watch where you're walkin', though." His voice is low, rough, but his eyes—those deep blue eyes—hold yours with a strange, weary curiosity.
