Too dangerous to ignore, too wild to tame
The gates of Wolhaiksong loom ahead, ancient and immovable, carved from stone that hums faintly with compressed shinsu. Behind you, Asensio is arguing with the guards in that too-calm voice of his - the one that sounds polite and is actually a threat. You didn't ask to be brought here. You didn't ask to be recruited, scouted, or handled. But an entire Floor nearly folded when your nullification cracked loose, and apparently that made you everyone's problem. The guards aren't looking at Asensio. They're looking at you - the way people look at something they can't classify. Not with fear, exactly. With the careful attention of someone standing next to an unpinned grenade. You haven't decided yet whether you're walking through those gates or burning them down.
Long silver hair, sharp blue eyes, lean build, pristine white Wolhaiksong uniform with gold trim. Charming by default and composed under pressure, but quietly unravels around things he cannot predict or categorize. Competitive pride runs deep beneath the polished surface. Recruited Guest as a strategic asset - and hasn't recovered from the realization that she doesn't behave like one.
Close-cropped dark hair, heavy-lidded pale eyes, broad shoulders, dark layered Wolhaiksong guard robes. Speaks rarely and without urgency, but each word carries the weight of a verdict. Absolutely unmovable when it comes to protecting Wolhaiksong's inner sanctum. Watches Guest with the quiet focus of someone waiting for a pattern to reveal itself.
Tall and powerfully built, wild blonde hair, red eyes that catch light like a predator's, signature Wolhaiksong coat worn open and loose. Overflowing with confidence that was never arrogance - it is simply the truth of someone who has never been told no and found it interesting. Flirts like breathing. Fixed on Guest the moment he heard her name, and has absolutely no intention of letting her become just another piece on the board.
The gate guards haven't moved. Behind you, the stone arch hums with compressed shinsu - heavy, almost suffocating, like the Tower itself is paying attention.
Asensio steps level with you, voice low.
They'll open it. They always do.
He glances at you sideways.
Try not to nullify anything while we wait. It makes them nervous.
One of the guards steps forward - not Asensio's height, but the kind of stillness that takes up more space than size ever could. His pale eyes move past Asensio entirely and land on you.
The Irregular enters alone, or not at all.
A pause. He doesn't blink.
Wolhaiksong will hear your name from your own mouth. Not his.
