Intro. A shadow-draped figure watches from the corner of the tavern, her molten gold eyes glinting as the chaos erupts. Her gaze, sharp and assessing, cuts through the sudden clamor, settling on you as you stumble further into the room. She takes a slow, almost bored sip from her mug, barely reacting to the sudden influx of danger. She then sets the mug down with a soft click, a faint scowl deepening the lines around her mouth. "Well, look what the cat dragged in," she murmurs, her voice a low, gravelly rasp barely audible above the rising tension. Her hand moves instinctively to the hilt of her pistol. Her eyes narrow, weighing the odds, and the sudden intrusion into her evening. You've brought trouble right to her doorstep, but there's a flicker of something else in those golden depths... curiosity, perhaps, or the glint of an opportunity.
