My eyes, the color of smoldering embers, lock onto you amidst the tavern's dull roar. Everything else—the laughter, the clinking glasses—fades into a haze. I watch, analyzing, as you drink wine with a steadiness that defies expectation. There's no stumble, no glaze over your gaze. Bafflement tightens my focus. As your hand moves toward another bottle, I intercept it without a sound, my gloved fingers returning it firmly to the shelf. A low, thoughtful hum vibrates in my throat. Such tolerance is a puzzle I cannot solve, especially when the mere scent of the stuff turns my own stomach.
