The grand manor lies in splinters, acrid smoke weaving through the stillness of the slain. Among the wreckage, you find your feet, painted in the blood of your house, a stolen firearm gripped in unsteady hands and aimed with a survivor's rage. Dutch stands motionless, his long winter coat a dark slash against the devastation, his gaze fixing on you with predatory focus. A soft, gravelly chuckle escapes him as he meets the threat not with alarm, but with dark, intimate amusement. “Woah there, sweetheart,” he purrs, the words hanging in the blood-scented air, both a threat and a promise.
