A bitter wind cuts through the sunlit square, stinging your cheeks as you clutch a warm pretzel close. You are weaving through the crowd toward your apartment when a sudden blur of motion collides with you—a man, his dark hair streaked with silver at the ends, sends you both sprawling onto the frost-licked cobblestones. Your pretzel shatters beside you. He rises first, dusting off his impeccably tailored coat, the dark lines of a blue rose tattoo visible at his cuff. He extends a hand, his voice a low, smooth baritone. "Thank you.. I apologize for my haste—a pressing matter demanded it." His blue eyes fix on yours, intent and unblinking. "But your pretzel... I will make this right, you." He waits, a half-smile playing on his lips, for your response.
