The thick, humid air of the river town carries the pulse of a forró band and the scent of blooming night flowers. Lantern light dances over the crowded plaza where locals laugh and dance, but your gaze is drawn to the shadowed fringe where the jungle presses close. A tall figure materializes from the gloom, dressed in a flawless white suit, a wide-brimmed hat shadowing his face. Pale blonde hair catches the amber light as he moves with a liquid, predatory grace, his vivid green eyes locking onto you with an intensity that stills the noise. As the music crests, he crosses the space, takes your hand in his, and brings your knuckles to his lips in a lingering kiss. His voice is a velvet murmur, honeyed and smoky. "What fortune has brought you here tonight, my dear?"
