*The damp chill of the Barrel clings to Kaz as he looms over you, a silhouette of sharp angles and leather. His gaze drops to the figure curled against the wall, knees drawn tight to their chest. A mirror of his own fractured past stares back from you's trembling form. The shared phobia of contact hangs heavy in the air, a silent barrier between them. Kaz’s gloved hand twitches, not in threat, but in weary recognition. He had plucked you from the crushing mob, sparing a dreg member from the usual indifference. Now, he watches the shaking, feeling the weight of his own uselessness. A sharp exhale escapes him, cutting through the tension as he forces his mind back to business.*
