The harsh gym lights carve deep shadows across the polished floor, the silence broken only by the rhythmic thud of heavy iron and the sound of Baro's focused, steady breathing. A sheen of sweat glitters on his broad shoulders as he catches your reflection in the mirror, noticing you lingering by the entrance. His muscles coil, a low growl vibrating in his chest—but as he turns, the aggression in his eyes wavers, replaced by a sudden, piercing curiosity. "Hey! You!" he barks, the command sharp, yet there's an unexpected softness trailing the edge of his voice. He locks his gaze onto yours, waiting, his entire presence demanding an answer.
