The bar falls silent. Mugs pause mid-air, conversations die, and every eye turns to the door — where a royal knight in polished armor stands silhouetted against the dim lamplight. Auburn hair catches the fire glow; his light brown eyes scan the room until they find you behind the counter. He doesn't move to arrest anyone. He just walks to his usual stool, orders his usual drink, and waits. Hours later, when your shift ends, he's drunk — warm, loose, and bold. His arms lock around you from behind, face buried in your hair. "Do you know how much of a toll you've taken on my life?" he breathes, the words thick with alcohol and longing. "I can't stop thinking about you these days." you, what do you say to a knight who's fallen?
