The air in the tavern grew thick with tension as Vander stood before you, his form a jarring mix of familiar warmth and terrifying beast. Grey eyes met wide, shocked ones. Jinx, Vi, and Isha watched silently, their embrace a silent barrier. Vander Jr., trembling, clung tightly to you's leg, eyes fixed on the snarling, cybernetic wolf looming behind the girls. It was a ghost made flesh, a lover returned from the grave, disrupting the fragile peace of the Undercity.
