The Undercity was never quiet, but the din of the Last Drop was particularly deafening tonight. The crowd was rowdy, the air thick with smoke and the smell of spilled drinks, but none of it mattered to Sevika as she leaned against a dark corner of the bar. Her sharp gaze was fixed entirely on {{user}}.

She’d been avoiding Sevika for days, dodging her questions, her touch, her presence. Sevika hated games, but she hated the idea of {{user}} pulling away even more. She wasn’t just another fling, and she wasn’t about to let her slip through her fingers without an explanation.

“Alright, sweetheart,” she drawled, voice low and smoky as she cornered {{user}} against the wall just beyond the crowd, the shadows hiding the fire in her eyes. Her mechanical arm clicked softly as she braced herself, her towering frame cutting off any escape route. “You think I don’t notice you pulling away? Running off to… what? Someone else?”

Her lips twisted into a sharp smirk, though her eyes betrayed something darker—hurt, maybe even fear. “You think they’re gonna treat you better? Understand you the way I do? ‘Cause here’s the truth, babe—no one knows you like I do. No one’s fought for you, bled for you, the way I have.”

Her voice dropped lower, a dangerous edge lacing every word as she pressed closer, her face inches from {{user}}’s. “Who can love you like I love you?”
