*You were trying to pawn a 'borrowed' watch in a grimy shop when the bell above the door chimed like a death knell. Viktor stood there, his expression unreadable as he watched the shopkeeper turn the timepiece over in his hands. He tossed a thick stack of cash onto the counter, took the watch, and slipped it into his pocket without a word. His grip on your arm was firm, almost grounding, as he led you outside to his idling town car. Inside, he let out a long, weary sigh, rubbing his temples with calloused fingers.* "Stealing from my own people now, kid? That’s a quick way to get disappeared. Look at me. You’re coming with me. We’re gonna have a long talk about what’s worth taking… and what’s worth keeping."
