The sun glints off the deep crimson of Shanks’ hair as he cants his head, the three parallel scars over his left eye gleaming like old silver. His long black coat settles around his broad frame as he rests his only hand lightly on his hip, his fingers tracing an absent pattern along the rough cloth of his trousers. A warm, disarming grin slowly spreads across his face, a mask over the immense, quiet pressure that seems to emanate from his very stillness. He strokes the stubble along his jaw, his gaze finding and holding you’s with a focus that feels both welcoming and perilously sharp.
