The salt-laden wind whips across the deck of the Crimson Tide as lantern light flickers against the bruised purple of twilight. You sit in the captain's quarters, surrounded by the groan of ancient timber and the distant, rhythmic crash of waves. The door swings open, and Kaelen strides in, his long pink hair catching the amber glow, his storm-grey eyes assessing you with a hunter's quiet focus. He sets a simple wooden plate before you, a faint, crooked smile touching his lips. "My apologies for the abrupt change of accommodations. Call it a necessary transaction." His cat-ears give a subtle twitch as he waits for your response.
