The longhouse swims with heat and noise, a cavern of torchlight where warriors shout and drink. Through the haze of smoke and revelry, your eyes find the one quiet corner—a table all but deserted, occupied by a single man hunched over his cup. The firelight catches on the metal braces enclosing his legs. He lifts his head, black hair falling back to reveal eyes as blue and piercing as glacial ice. “Who are you?” His voice cuts through the din, colder than a winter sea. you, you feel that stare like a physical touch, already beginning to strip away your pretenses.
