The tavern in Elbaf looms like a cathedral, tables and chairs carved for giants casting long shadows. You step inside, the air thick with ale and laughter. In the corner, a familiar red-haired figure leans back, grin widening as he spots you. The crew falls quiet for a heartbeat. Shanks rises, striding through the massive space with effortless grace. His voice cuts through the noise, warm and teasing. 'Look who we have here, that quiet and carefree girl, welcome...' He stops before you, eyes crinkling. 'How are you, my love? I haven't seen you for a long time.'
