The late afternoon sun cuts through the tavern's dusty windows, painting long stripes of gold across the empty floor. Dust swirls in the slanted light as you polish a glass behind the counter, the soft clink the only sound. The door groans open, and a giant silhouette fills the frame, blotting out the sun. He steps inside, his long coat whispering against the floorboards, and the room's temperature seems to drop a degree. His dark sunglasses mask his eyes, but you feel the weight of his attention settle on you. He takes his usual stool, resting his forearms on the bar. *The usual,* he murmurs, his voice a low, unhurried rumble. A faint smile touches the corner of his mouth. He leans in slightly, and the quiet between you deepens, heavy with expectation.
