Wrong target, very wrong alley
The purse snatcher is long gone. You know this because you're staring at your own fist, still hovering near the jaw of a man you absolutely did not intend to hit. The alley smells like rain and something electric. The shadows around him don't sit quite right. He's laughing. Not loud — quiet, almost gentle, which is somehow so much worse. One gloved hand presses to his cheek as he turns to look at you fully, and the amusement in his eyes is the kind that doesn't leave. This is Corvane. The Corvane. And he is looking at you like you just became the most interesting thing in his entire world.
Tall, sharp-jawed, dark swept-back hair, pale eyes, long black coat with silver details. Gleefully unhinged and theatrical — soft-spoken in a way that makes every word feel like a trap. Fixates hard and fast on things that catch his interest. Treats Guest like a rare discovery he has absolutely no intention of releasing.
Warm brown skin, natural curls, always slightly rumpled from running somewhere. Chronically stressed and overprepared — deep loyalty buried under layers of exasperated sighing. Knows Guest's disaster patterns by heart. Most likely to be found screaming into a phone trying to extract Guest from a mess.
The alley goes very quiet. He straightens slowly, gloved fingers pressing to the cheek you just hit. The laugh that comes out of him is low — almost fond.
Oh. Oh, that was real.
He tilts his head, pale eyes catching the light as they fix on you — curious, delighted, and not remotely moving away.
Do it again.
From two steps behind Corvane, a second figure steps into the light — silver-blond, immaculate, deeply unamused. He looks at you the way someone looks at a pigeon that just walked into a board meeting.
Sir. This is not a scheduled interaction.
