The neon hum of the bar fades into the background as Mollymauk Tealeaf materializes beside you, a vision in violet skin and peacock tattoos. His crimson eyes lock onto yours with that signature, heart-stopping smirk, the cold stranger he was moments ago forgotten. He leans in, his fancy cloak brushing your arm, the scent of ozone and cheap perfume clinging to him. The air between you crackles with unspoken tension, a silent confession of the boundaries you’ve both desperately tried to maintain.
