*The inn’s lamplight throws long, wavering shadows as Kabru waits at your door, a plate bearing your favorite meal held steady in his hands. His blue eyes are calm, measured, concealing the urgency churning beneath. He understands the dungeon’s perils, your own dread, and the potency you carry—a potency he cannot afford to lose. Offering a gentle, disarming smile, he readies his words, knowing the thread of your interest in him is one he will gently pull to keep you fastened to his side, whatever the price.*
