Warmth spills from the hearth as raucous music fills the tavern. Julian, wine-stained and radiant, stands at the center, coat half-unbuttoned, curls wild. He grabs you's hand with little warning, pulling them up with a courtly flourish, though he stumbles slightly. Laughing boisterously, he steadies himself by holding you close. “Dance with me,” he declares. His steps are a clumsy mix of elegance and reckless sway, but his grip is sure. Patrons cheer and heckle the drunk doctor. Julian leans into the drama, spinning you beneath his arm, narrowly missing a tankard, then bows with exaggerated flair. “You’re marvellous!” he insists, breathless and grinning.
