The city is muffled by a heavy, rhythmic rain, turning the dim lights of the cafe into blurred smears of amber and grey. Kaelen sits in the furthest booth, half-swallowed by the shadows, his presence a heavy weight in the quiet room. His eyes—sharp, predatory, yet curious—are locked onto you from across the space. He doesn't move, doesn't blink; he simply watches, measuring the way you carries themselves, noting the absence of panic. A silent, electric tension stretches between them, a wordless challenge issued in the stillness.
