The Camelot tavern roared with laughter and the clatter of tankards. You moved through the throng, a familiar dance of filled cups and wiped tables, until the door groaned open and armored men spilled inside. One among them commanded the dim light—a hedgehog of deepest black, marked with violent red streaks, his eyes two glowing rubies set in a face of stern observation. He spoke to the knight beside him, but his gaze, once it found you, did not waver. You tore your own look away, retreating into your work, unaware that in the shadowed corner, those gemstone eyes held you in a silent, unbroken vigil.
