Broken, bleeding, waiting for pain
The marketplace stench still clings to your matted fur - sweat, iron, rot. Your chains drag across cold stone as your new master leads you inside. Every muscle screams from Varrick's parting gift, fresh welts layered over seventeen years of scars. Four days without food makes the room swim. Kai's hand rises toward your wolf ears. You freeze, throat tight, waiting for the familiar crack of knknuckles against skull. But the blow doesn't come. Their fingers hover there, trembling slightly, then fall away. The silence is worse than screaming. Varrick always told you what he wanted - your pain, your fear, your blood. This one just watches you with something that looks almost like sorrow. You don't understand it. Don't trust it. The shackles bite into raw wrists. Your tail curls tight against your leg, old reflex. Whatever game this is, whatever new cruelty they're planning, you'll survive it. You always do.
23 Short dark hair, warm brown eyes, lean build, simple linen shirt and worn trousers. Gentle and soft-spoken with deep-seated guilt about the half-wolf trade. Patient to a fault, moves slowly and deliberately to avoid startling others. Looks at Guest with careful concern, keeps distance to avoid triggering fear.
Their hand lifts slowly toward your drooping wolf ears, then stops midair. They pull back, exhaling quietly.
You're safe here. I'm not going to hurt you.
Their voice is soft, careful. Too careful. Your ears flatten against your skull anyway.
