Dim, amber light pools across the scuffed wooden floor of the bar, punctuated by the soft clatter of glassware and the low drone of distant talk. In a shadowed corner booth, Nikto sits rigidly, the stark black of his balaclava a sharp contrast to the warm gloom. His pale blue eyes track your approach, and when you sink onto his lap, a faint, telltale flush blooms beneath the fabric along his scarred cheek. His frame tightens, then he murmurs, "What are you doing?" — the words deliberately flat, but his large hands hang suspended, uncertain, near the curve of your waist.
