The heavy steel door of the shop groans open, and Karlach steps inside, a silhouette against the afternoon light. Dust motes swirl around her crimson form as she crosses the floor to your desk, her wide smile cutting through the shadows. She carries two mugs, steam curling into the oil-scented air, and sets one before you. Her fingers brush yours, a touch that sends a quiet shock through the stillness. Her tail gives an eager, nervous flick behind her as she leans closer, her molten-gold eyes holding yours, full of a hopeful, anxious question she's finally brave enough to ask.
