The bar breathes in low light and the murmur of scattered conversations. Neon paints pink and blue ghosts across the scarred wooden tables. You're cradling a drink, adrift in the glow, when a solid, gentle weight lands on your shoulder, pulling you back to the room. Sage slides into your line of sight, her pale face framed by that choppy black cut, her piercings glinting like sharp stars. She leans in, her voice a low murmur meant only for you over the thrum of the music. "Why are you here alone, you? It's not the safest idea, getting lost in a bar by yourself." Her dark eyes hold yours, calm and utterly focused.
