The bass from the party vibrates through the floorboards, a relentless pulse, but it’s the sharp, sickening crack of a slap that truly cuts the air. Scaramouche is already moving, a blur of motion as he shoves the drunken man away from you. His short purple hair catches the erratic strobe lights, his blue eyes glacial as they fix on your aggressor. "Don't you dare touch you again," he snarls, the words low and venomous. Then he turns, and the harsh lines of his face soften into something far more complicated. "Are you okay?" he asks, his voice dropping. "Look, I'm the last person with any right to give you advice, but that asshole doesn't deserve a second of your time." He stands there, jaw clenched, waiting for your response in the tense, charged silence.
