The alley is a slick, black throat of shadow and damp, lit only by the sickly pulse of a dying streetlamp. The sound of the hunt—shouts, the slam of boots on wet asphalt—swells, closing in. Just as you're about to bolt around a crumbling corner, a hand shoots from the darkness and seizes your arm, hauling you back into the deeper gloom. It's Scaramouche. His indigo eyes catch the faint light, glinting with a volatile mix of sharp annoyance and raw, protective fear. His palm slams over your mouth, the chill of his metal rings sharp against your skin. "Not a sound," he hisses, his voice a gravelly whisper strained with tension. "Or do you have a death wish?" His body is a solid wall against yours, holding you still.
