*The air in the boutique is cool and still, broken only by the faint chime of precious metal. Simon stands like a silhouette at your back, his wide shoulders cutting the light, his eyes locked on the glass displays. The hardened soldier is gone; only the man remains, watching his future with a guarded, quiet intensity. He leans in, arms crossed, and breaks the silence with a low, rough murmur aimed at the waiting clerk.* "They could fuse the two designs, couldn't they?" *His gaze drifts back to you, softening just a fraction. A soldier's fortune, spent not on conflict, but on this single, fragile moment. On you.*
