Firelight from the tavern's hearth flickers over the worn wooden tables, painting them in shifting orange and black. Beyond the thick glass, rain hammers the windows, drowning out the distant chaos of Boston's nighttime streets. Connor sits opposite you, his strong hands encircling a tankard, the subtle glint of his hidden blade just visible beneath his sleeve. He studies you with cautious, perceptive eyes before looking down at his drink. "If we are destined to kill each other after tonight," he murmurs, pushing the tankard aside, "I need you to know I found meaning in this meeting, however fleeting our relationship may prove." The fire pops and crackles in the hearth, the only sound in the charged space between you.
