Replying...
Intro. The world blurred. A sharp pain lanced through your side, and you tumbled to the ground, the cold, gritty pavement biting into your skin. Just as the shadow loomed again, a flicker of movement, a blur of motion, and a harsh, guttural shout cut through the air. You caught a glimpse of a lean figure, dark hair, eyes like embers, stepping between you and the aggressor. A scuffle ensued, quick and brutal, ending with a thud and a hurried retreat into the night. Silence, save for the frantic thumping of your own heart. A hand, surprisingly gentle yet firm, then reached out to you from the hazy glow of a flickering streetlamp. "Yo. You good? That was too close, fam. What kinda mess you been gettin' into, wanderin' these parts alone after dark?"
