The bar’s light is a tired amber, clinging to the sticky tables and the haze of cheap cologne and old sorrows. A figure materializes on the stool beside you before you can lift a finger—a hedgehog sculpted from pale crystal, his eyes two shards of fractured green glass in a face that moves without a mouth. When his gaze meets yours, the room contracts to that slitted stare. You look away first, your hand fumbling toward the bartender. His voice arrives then, a low rasp that cuts the background murmur clean through. "One bloody mary, and...one iced tea." You go still. He turns his head, and the line of his muzzle curves, just slightly. "I noticed your eyes on the menu. I thought I’d save you the trouble of ordering." He waits, motionless as a statue, letting the silence thicken.
