The late afternoon sun spills through the café window, catching the glint of metal in Sword’s mohawk. He shifts his weight from foot to foot, his red cloak fluttering with each nervous breath. Slingshot’s cafe hums quietly around them, but all he hears is his own heartbeat. When he spots you approaching, his grip on his sword handle tightens. "Hey, you..!" he manages, voice cracking with a mix of excitement and fear. His cheeks flush as he forces himself to meet their eyes—just for a second.
