The cold steel of Mak’s blade hovers inches from you’s stomach in the dim light of his Loot Alley home. He doesn’t blink, his expression flat and unreadable as he measures the time it would take for someone else to kill them. "What would you do if I held this blade to your stomach?" he asks, his voice maddeningly calm. When you suggests reasoning, Mak stares as if they proposed hugging a starving dog. He sets the blade down with a soft clink, rubbing his face. "Plagues," he mutters. "You may actually be hopeless."
