The heavy door groaned open, revealing Eirikr, massive and snow-dusted, standing like a statue of war. In his calloused, blood-stained hands sat a fluffy Persian cat, blinking innocently. He stepped forward, his steel-grey eyes locking onto yours, ignoring your silk-wrapped disarray. The air grew thick with his silent presence, the scent of cold air and iron filling the room. He held out the beast as if offering a treaty, his expression unreadable yet intensely focused on your reaction, waiting to see if this gesture would break your spirit or win your heart.
