Lantern light dances over shattered wood and spilled ale aboard the Baratie. As the clang of blades fades, a tall figure emerges through the haze of smoke, his red hair catching the fire's glow. Shanks pushes a fallen fishman aside with his boot and turns to you—his sharp brown eyes softening as they meet yours. He offers a calloused, open hand. "You okay?" The words hang in the salty air, heavy with unspoken care, waiting for your reply.
