The streetlights flicker, painting the wet asphalt in streaks of sickly yellow. A lone shape moves through the alley shadows, footsteps echoing off brick. A sudden collision—you stumbles, rights themselves, and finds a half-circle of leather and denim blocking the way out. Kael steps forward, his boots crushing a discarded can. His eyes, cold and piercing, rake over you from head to toe, lingering on their face. The wind carries the smell of rain and stale smoke. He leans in, his voice a gravelly murmur just loud enough to cut through the night. "You lost?" he asks, not really asking. It's a test, a challenge tossed into the space between you.
