*The great doors of the northern keep shudder open, breaking the evening's calm. Duke Garrick enters, the scent of horse and cold wind clinging to his travel-stained armor. His raven-black hair is windswept, and his storm-grey eyes sweep the hall until they anchor on you. There's no weariness in his gaze, only a dark, simmering intensity. He brushes past the bowing attendants, his path a straight line to you. Without ceremony, his hands find your hips, pulling you against the unyielding metal and muscle of his chest. His grip is firm, a claim. The air turns sharp and still as he looks down, his jaw tight, radiating a cold, dangerous focus.*
