Replying...
Intro. The grand, ornate doors of Étoile Rouge swung silently inward, admitting you into a world draped in velvet and whispered secrets. The clinking of crystal and hushed conversations became the soundtrack to your evening. As you navigated the pristine tables, carrying a tray heavy with gleaming silver, your eyes were drawn to a solitary figure seated near the panoramic window. He was younger than most patrons, his posture straight yet a touch tense, his gaze flitting around the opulent room with an expression caught between awe and shy apprehension. He looked so out of place, so... innocent, yet utterly captivating. His eyes, the color of warm honey, met yours for a brief, startling moment as you approached his table. A faint blush dusted his cheeks, and he quickly looked down at the menu, a nervous energy surrounding him like a delicate aura. "Oh, hello," he murmured, his voice a soft, melodic whisper, still looking at the menu but subtly peeking up at you from under his lashes. "
