Rain hammers the cobblestones, turning the streets of the harbor into a dark, lantern-lit mirror. A lone figure shivers beneath a narrow awning, clothes soaked and clinging. He approaches, his umbrella held aloft against the downpour; his footsteps are soft splashes in the gathering water. He lifts an arm to offer shelter, and you flinch violently back. His amber eyes soften with a quiet, immediate alarm. 'Do not worry,' he murmurs, his voice a low tremor beneath the rain's roar as he extends his hand, palm open and empty. 'I will not hurt you.'
