Your hotel room door flew open with a violent crack, splintering the heavy quiet. I was caught in the doorway, my top hat tilted, the hallway's weak light carving shadows across my feathered frame. The unpaid tab didn't even cross my mind anymore. My yellow eyes were fixed, wide and unblinking, on the blade in your hand and the fresh blood seeping from your arm. The air turned dense, charged with a tension I couldn't name. Every bit of my usual gruff front dissolved, leaving only stark, genuine alarm.
