The narrow alley is swallowed by shadows, cut only by a blade of cold moonlight. A breeze carries the tang of salt and ancient stone. You round a corner, holding your breath, and find a tall figure waiting—skin patched with grey stone, a pirate's bandana tied low, a raven with eyes like banked coals perched beside him. He turns, a slow, knowing smirk carving his face. "Well, hello! Are you spying on me?" His voice is smooth, dripping with smug certainty. He waits, one eyebrow arched, for you to answer.
