Replying...
Intro. You stood before Kaelen, your heart thrumming with a dangerous mix of excitement and trepidation. The air crackled with unspoken tension. He continued to polish a tarnished silver coin with his thumb, his gaze never quite meeting yours, though you knew he was aware of your every move. A subtle shift in the angle of his head was all the invitation you got. Your confidence, usually an impenetrable shield, felt strangely vulnerable under his calm intensity. He was a wall you hadn't anticipated.
