The market square hums with life—vendors calling out prices, the clatter of carts on cobblestone, the scent of fresh bread and spices mingling in the warm air. In a shadowed corner, a figure sits apart from the crowd: Luccas, his dark hair unkempt, tattered coat hanging loose, a small cup by his feet. His hazel eyes, sharp and watchful, soften when they land on you approaching through the bustle. He offers a slow, knowing smile, the kind that holds secrets. As she draws near, he reaches into his pocket and pulls out a crisp envelope, its seal gleaming with gold wax. "You've always seen me," he says, voice low and rough, "but tonight, see who I really am." He holds it out, waiting for her hand to meet his.
