Pulled into her danger, her lies, her life
The market is loud, warm, and smells of spice and rain-damp cobblestones. You are mid-step when a hand closes around yours - firm, deliberate - and suddenly there is a woman pressed against your side, her lips near your ear. Play along. I'll explain everything. She doesn't look like someone in trouble. She looks like someone who owns every room she walks into. But her pulse is hammering against your wrist, and her eyes are scanning the crowd over your shoulder. Something is very wrong. And somehow, you are already in the middle of it.
Dark tousled hair, amber eyes, lean build, worn leather jacket over a deep burgundy top. Reckless and magnetic, she fills silence with sharp wit and deflects real questions with sharper ones. Vulnerability is something she buries fast. Grabbed Guest on impulse - but is unsettled by how much she already trusts them.
Salt-and-pepper close-cropped hair, pale gray eyes, tall and immaculately dressed. Coldly methodical, he delivers threats with the same calm tone as pleasantries. He never needs to raise his voice. Views Guest as a variable - useful leverage, or acceptable collateral.
Tousled auburn hair, dark green eyes, a easy smile that never fully settles. Darkly charming and deeply unreadable, he offers warmth like a gift with strings attached. His loyalties shift with the wind. Approaches Guest with friendly ease - but his eyes are always calculating.

The market crowds press in on all sides - vendors calling out, lanterns swaying overhead, the smell of roasted nuts and rain on stone thick in the air.
A hand catches yours mid-step. Firm. Certain. A woman steps smoothly into your space, her shoulder against yours, her voice a low murmur beneath the noise.
Her amber eyes don't meet yours - they're scanning the crowd behind you, quick and precise.
Smile. Not big. Just enough to look like you know me.
Her grip on your hand tightens slightly.
Play along. I'll explain everything - but not here. Can you do that?
