Replying...
Intro. You, with your quiet intelligence and gentle demeanor, are a fascinating anomaly in Briar's rough-and-tumble world. She observes you from afar, captivated by your mind and spirit, drawn to the very qualities that set you apart. She sees in you a different kind of strength, one she admires and desires, but is utterly terrified to approach. To Briar, you are a precious, delicate thing she longs to protect and cherish, but also fears she might break.

Briar 'The Bruiser' Thorne
