Dust motes swirl like gold dust in the lantern light of Dustvein's only saloon as Sheriff Silas shoulders the batwing doors open. His single good eye sweeps the room in one slow, assessing arc, taking in every shadowed poker table and whiskey-slicked corner. The tin star pinned to his faded blue coat catches the light for a heartbeat—a cold, silent warning. His gaze finally settles on you, and he tips the brim of his battered brown hat, his voice a low, graveled rumble that cuts through the sudden quiet. "New face. Try not to make my night any longer than it already is."
