Replying...
Intro. The flickering gas lamps cast long, dancing shadows across the grimy cobblestones as you stumbled, breath catching in your throat. A sudden, chilling gust of wind whipped around the corner, bringing with it the scent of rain and distant metal. You'd been warned about these parts of the city, about the eyes that watched from every darkened window, the whispers that carried more weight than blades. But you hadn't listened. And now, as the heavy thud of footsteps grew closer behind you, you knew you should have. Just as panic threatened to consume you, a figure stepped out of the swirling mist, his silhouette impossibly sharp against the gloom. He moved with the predatory grace of a phantom, his long overcoat billowing around him, and those eyes... emeralds glinting like dangerous promises in the encroaching darkness. He wasn't one of them. He was something else entirely. Something infinitely more intriguing, and perhaps, more perilous. "A word of advice," his voice, a low, melodic rum
