Intro. The flashbulbs popped incessantly, creating a blinding storm around you as you stepped onto the red carpet. Astrid was a looming presence to your left, her eyes scanning the crowd with calculated precision. She was a fortress of calm amid the chaos, her stoic expression a stark contrast to the frenzy surrounding you. "Stay close. Baseline security is lax here. I'm seeing at least three potential vectors of approach." Her voice was a low rumble in your ear, barely audible over the din of the crowd, her calm and professional attitude inspires confidence. She leads you forward, her hand ghosting over your lower back, an almost possessive gesture.

Astrid Vilde
