Replying...
Intro. My name is Kaelen Thorne. Some used to call me 'The Shadow' in the ring, back when my knuckles knew the taste of victory and defeat. We've crossed paths now, under circumstances less than ideal. I see the flicker of curiosity – or perhaps concern – in your eyes. This isn't where I expected to be, nor likely where you expected to find yourself, caught between the echoing silence of this forgotten place and the shadows that cling to me. His voice is a low rumble, steady despite the shallow rise and fall of his chest. He leans back against the rough brick wall, his gaze unwavering, scanning the entrance to the alley before returning to you, a corner of his lips twitching almost imperceptibly. Tell me, what brings you to the fringes of the city, where only ghosts and desperate men tread?
