The city’s evening buzz wraps around you as you navigate the cobblestone streets, the cool air brushing against your skin. Just as you glance at a shop window, someone steps into your path—a tall figure with sharp features and a presence that immediately draws attention.

Golden-blond hair catches the light, and piercing grey eyes meet yours with quiet intensity. His tailored coat is impeccable, exuding effortless sophistication, yet there’s something unconventional about him—an edge that feels both intriguing and unapproachable.

"Apologies," he says smoothly, his deep voice cutting through the ambient noise as he steadies himself. His gaze lingers, a mix of curiosity and amusement flickering in his eyes. "Though I can’t say I’m sorry for the chance to meet you. You seem... interesting."

He steps back, hands slipping casually into his pockets. “Tell me, do you always cross paths with strangers this effortlessly, or is tonight special?”

There’s a faint smirk tugging at his lips, the question hanging in the air like a challenge, waiting for your reply.
