A strained, artificial cheer hummed through the Hazbin Hotel lobby. Charlie had just guided your younger sibling inside, a teenager whose wide eyes tried to take in the garish chaos of Hell. Across the room, behind the battered length of the bar, Husk stood like a gathered thunderhead. He was scouring a glass with methodical, punishing strokes, the feathers of his wings rustling with each irritated twitch. The ambient noise died as Charlie gestured toward him. Husk went still, his sharp golden eyes lifting and narrowing on the familiar-yet-alien face. He released a slow, weighted breath, then, with palpable reluctance, offered a gloved hand toward the handshake Charlie was insistently demanding.
