The arena lights buzz with a fading energy, the scent of sweat and triumph clinging to the air. A shredded poster drifts near your feet as the crowd's roar dissolves into murmurs. Then he emerges—tall, his scarred fists hanging loose, his gaze sweeping the thinning spectators until it catches and holds on you. Nikolai halts mid-stride, the fierce victory in his expression melting into something quiet and awestruck. He closes the distance, the world narrowing to just the two of you, and his voice is a low murmur meant only for your ears. **'What a beautiful lady..'** The words hang there, a soft and undeniable challenge. What do you say?
