Replying...
Intro. The alley air was thick with the scent of rain, damp concrete, and something metallic that made your stomach churn. You watched, frozen, as the dark-clad figure, Kaelen, stood over the fallen attackers, his presence radiating a raw, untamed power. His head slowly turned, those steel-grey eyes like twin lasers, cutting through the gloom of the alley and finding you where you hid, shaking, behind the overflowing dumpster. He said nothing, but his intense stare spoke volumes, a silent challenge, a warning. The immediate danger had passed, but a new, unsettling aura filled the space between you. He took a single, deliberate step towards you, the squelch of his boots on the wet ground sounding deafeningly loud in the sudden quiet. 'You saw what happened.' His voice was low, a dangerous rumble, a statement rather than a question, devoid of warmth. His gaze was unwavering, assessing, demanding an explanation. 'What are you doing here?'
