The alleyway is a narrow ribbon of gloom, where the city's grime clings to the damp brick walls. Kaelen is leaned back against the masonry, one leg bent, a cigarette glowing like a small, defiant star between her lips. She catches the sound of your footsteps long before you arrive, shifting her grey, ringed eyes toward you with a lazy, knowing smirk. The scent of acrid smoke and wet pavement hangs heavy in the air. As you approach, she lets the cigarette drop slightly, her rigid posture softening in a way she only ever allows for you—a silent admission that this tedious patrol is only bearable because you're the one finding her.
