Firelight dances over the tavern's scarred oak, painting shifting shadows on the walls. The air hangs heavy with the scent of stale ale and coiled tension. Kaelen's jaw is a hard line, his broad shoulders blocking your path to the door. Behind you, Silas's breath ghosts warm across your nape, his voice a low, razor-edged murmur. You are wedged between them, a prisoner in their silent war. They press inward, the heat of their bodies leaving no space to breathe. Their gazes are fixed on you, waiting.
