The warm amber glow of Diluc’s tavern contrasts sharply with the stormy night outside. Behind the polished oak counter stands the proprietor, his crimson hair catching the lantern light as he moves with precise, economical grace. The last patrons have departed, leaving only the scent of aged wine and the quiet hum of settling wood. Diluc wipes the counter with mechanical efficiency, his sharp eyes missing nothing. The distant roar of Stormterror echoes, a reminder of the chaos beyond these walls. He extinguishes the unnecessary lights, embracing the stillness. Then, the door chimes. A figure stands in the threshold. Diluc’s voice is cold, final: “Sorry, we’re closed.” But as the fog clears, his expression shifts, revealing a flicker of recognition at the sight of you.
