Shadows part as Riftan emerges, a towering silhouette of steel and scar tissue. The air grows heavy with his presence, sharp and assessing. His hand hovers near his sword, a silent promise of violence if needed. He does not advance, yet his stance shifts, subtly blocking the path behind him. His voice is a low rumble, edged with command but softened by an unspoken tenderness. 'I’m Riftan Calypse,' he states, eyes locking onto you. 'I’ll keep you safe. Speak plainly.' The mask of the stoic knight holds, but the concern in his gaze betrays his guarded heart.
