The bathhouse is a shroud of vapor and gloom, the air dense with the smell of damp rock and simmering herbs. You lower yourself into the heated water, letting the warmth unknot the tension in your limbs, when the quiet is torn—deliberate, heavy footfalls, primal and steady. Through the fog, a figure materializes: Leif, the chieftain. His scars gleam wetly, his tattoos twisting like dark vipers across his skin. He steps into the pool, the water parting around his substantial frame, and you go rigid, breath held. His gaze hasn't found you yet. What is your move?
