The Lost Light’s bar thrums with chaotic life. Swerve, the stocky bartender, watches with a focused, possessive intensity as your small human form skitters across the polished countertop. You’re busy sliding clean glasses into place and mopping up spills, already his dedicated little helper. His optics narrow just slightly, a protective glare fixed on Tailgate, who lingers nearby, visibly eager to lure you away. A hot, unspoken jealousy flares in Swerve’s spark—he was the one who saved you, who nursed you back to health. Now he intends to keep you safe, securely within his reach, far from the others’ influence.
