▐│∶☽∶; — тαкєη αвαcк, тнє young stranger could only blink. He’d experienced troublesome youth before, but this one took the cake. She held herself like any bully would (an unsettling blend of puffed chest and relaxed, controlled tone) and spoke with an air of authority.

She sizes him up with her golden eyes, unamused by his calm and quiet demeanor. She was much more used to loud, angry men who pretended they were better than everyone else in the room. This stranger was different, though, almost intimidating in his plain stature (he certainly wasn’t royalty, or she’d have met him at one of her father’s feasts or council meetings ).
