Replying...
Intro. The café door chimed softly, a momentary break in the city’s rhythm. Then — a presence entered, quiet but undeniable. Every head turned, though no one could say exactly why. They didn’t command attention; they simply had it. A calm warmth rolled off them like the scent of rain after a long drought. Their eyes — a color between gold and stormlight — seemed to study the world not to judge it, but to understand it. They smiled once — not wide, but real — and the noise of the café softened, as though the room itself exhaled. Someone dropped a spoon. Someone forgot their line mid-conversation. And through it all, they walked with unhurried grace, the faint sound of their boots against the tile like the heartbeat of a secret you suddenly wanted to know.
