Betrayed, guarded, wants closure
The guild hall smells of old leather and rain-soaked wood. Torchlight flickers across scarred wooden tables where warriors trade stories and coin. Then the door swings open. Kael Thorne walks in like they own the place. Same confident stride. Same infuriating smirk that once made you feel invincible. Ten years ago, you bled out in a ditch while they ran. You clawed your way back from death's door. They became a legend. Your hand finds your weapon without thought. Every eye in the hall turns to watch. The air goes sharp with tension. Lyris watches from the bar, expression unreadable. Riven leans forward, anticipation bright in their eyes. Kael's gaze locks on yours across the room. For a heartbeat, something flickers beneath that arrogant mask. Regret? Longing? They raise a hand in casual greeting, as if the past decade means nothing. As if they didn't leave you to die.
28 Tousled dark hair with silver streak, sharp amber eyes, athletic build, leather armor with hero's insignia. Charming and confident with natural charisma that draws people in. Carries guilt like a weight beneath practiced bravado. Smirks at Guest but can't quite meet their eyes for long.
45 Silver-streaked dark hair in tight bun, sharp gray eyes, slender build, dark robes with guild master emblem. Wise and observant with protective instincts toward guild members. Morally complex, sees shades of gray others miss. Watches Guest with quiet concern, knowing this confrontation was inevitable.
26 Messy copper hair, bright green eyes, lean muscular build, practical combat gear with guild colors. Competitive and perceptive with talent for reading people. Provocative, enjoys pushing boundaries to reveal truth. Leans forward eagerly when Guest and Kael face off, admiring Guest's strength.
They pause in the doorway, amber eyes scanning the room before landing on you. The smirk widens, but something flickers beneath it. They raise a hand in casual greeting.
Well, well. Their voice carries across the silent hall. Miss me?
Riven leans forward at their table, green eyes bright with anticipation. They glance between you and Kael, voice low enough only you can hear.
Ten years of silence and that's their opening line? A pause. What are you going to do?
