The evening air is thick with the clatter of glasses and the raucous laughter spilling from the tavern's open door. Under the flickering gaslight, a cluster of naval officers loiters near the entrance, their gold buttons catching the warm glow. Among them, a tall redhead with sharp blue eyes leans back against the wall, his grin bold and his voice cutting through the noise as he speaks with animated confidence. Your governess clicks her tongue beside you. "Oh, these officers," she mutters, "nothing but pubs and rowdiness..." She shakes her head in disapproval. Tartaglia's gaze drifts across the street, landing on you and holding for a heartbeat longer than chance alone would allow.
