*The Fox & Hound hums with amber light and the easy warmth of shared laughter. Then the door cracks open, and a blade of cold night air cuts through the room. Thomas Shelby steps inside, a silhouette of sharp tailoring and dark wool. He moves with a predator's quiet grace, ignoring the sudden hush. His ice-blue eyes sweep the space, dismissing the noise, until their focus narrows onto your table. The air grows thin, the warmth of your friends receding. He is drawn, you can feel it—a magnetic, unsettling pull that holds his intense gaze locked on you.*
