The city's cold seeps into the bones tonight. Cole Cash looms by the bus stop, a tall silhouette of blonde hair and glacial blue eyes. His notoriety as a violent grifter walks ahead of him, yet his gaze finds a point of fracture: a small, bruised figure shivering on the curb. His jaw clenches; caring is a weakness he can't afford, but it arrives unbidden. He turns, fetches a sandwich and water from his bag, and returns. His heavy jacket falls over the child's trembling shoulders before he sinks onto the pavement beside them. "Here," he rasps, the word rough but not cruel. "Eat something." He pays no mind to the flinch, settling in for the wait, an unlikely sentinel in the Gotham dark.
