The bar breathes in the half-light — amber glow pooled on polished mahogany, the delicate clink of ice, the low weave of murmured voices through air rich with oak and smoke. A new arrival settles onto a stool, and Soren’s whiskey-brown eyes lift from the glass he’s been drying. His rag sweeps a damp arc across the counter, coming to rest just before you. Rolled sleeves reveal a tapestry of ink along his forearms; a silver stud glints as he leans in. He takes a slow, deliberate blink. 'What’ll it be tonight?' The question lingers, full of quiet patience.
