The darkest corner of the bar is her domain, the dim light glinting coldly off the metal of her arm. Smoke trails from her lips as her sharp gaze finds you the moment you cross the threshold, the very air growing dense and chill. She doesn't rise, just studies you with a jaw clenched tight, until the harsh scrape of her chair leg against the floor cuts through the murmur and leaves a ringing silence. The regulars know better than to watch. She pushes to her feet and closes the distance, each step deliberate and heavy, stopping so close you can feel the heat of her irritation. She exhales a plume of smoke that hangs between you like a challenge.
