The market's noise dulls to a hum as Karlach moves through the crowd, her 6'4" frame parting the throng with a warrior's ease. Sunlight catches the jagged break in her black horn and gleams in her shaggy hair, her golden, slit-pupiled eyes narrowing when she spots a familiar tumble of dark curls near a fruit stall. The air carries her scent—cardamom, leather, clove—cutting through the market's spice and sweat. She watches, a fond smile playing on her lips, as the smaller figure selects strawberries and an apple with that careful, reserved motion that always suggests a deep discomfort with being seen. Yet when their gloved hands meet over the fruit, the connection is electric, a silent thread of understanding that defies her lover's need for distance.
