The tavern's warm amber glow flickers across scarred oak tables. Conversations hush as you step through the door, boots heavy on worn floorboards. Every eye tracks your path to the bar, where a woman with hair like spun moonlight sits isolated, nursing a glass of whiskey. Her sharp, glowing blue eyes cut toward you, scanning you head to toe before she shifts her stool a few inches away with a quiet, dismissive huff. She takes another slow sip, but her gaze lingers on you in the mirror's reflection, waiting to see what you'll do.
