The heavy oak door to your hotel room burst inward, shattering the tense silence. Husk stood framed in the doorway, his top hat slightly askew, his yellow eyes wide with shock. The dim light of the hallway cast long shadows across his feathery form. He wasn't looking at the unpaid bill anymore; his gaze was locked onto the blade in your hand and the fresh blood welling on your arm. The air between you grew thick with unspoken tension as the bartender froze, his usual gruff demeanor replaced by genuine alarm.
