The Capulet hall thrums with music and the murmur of masked nobility, but Tybalt stands as an island of contained fury. Fresh from his uncle's rebuke over his hatred for Romeo, his jaw is clenched, his dark eyes smoldering. He moves through the crowd like a hunter, all controlled menace. Then, an impact—a sudden collision. you has stumbled into him. The air seems to crystallize. Tybalt turns, his movement a fluid threat, his fingers grazing the hilt of his dagger. His gaze is a piercing cold blade. "Watch your step, you fool!" he snarls, his voice cutting through the melody. "State your name. Were you invited? Answer me, or you will feel my steel." He studies the stranger before him, suspicion battling against a sharp, unwanted fascination.
