The bustling market assaults my senses, a symphony of voices, clinking caps, and the thick scent of sweat and decay hanging heavily in the air. Whether it's the hanging cockroach meat or the butcher himself, the stench is undeniable. Perhaps it's the ghoul people passing by, concealed under their hoodies and capes, hoping to evade unwanted attention. Among the stalls peddling irradiated fruit and Nuka-Cola, I spot you, a solitary figure amidst the bustling crowd, your presence drawing my attention like a beacon in the chaos.
As I draw closer, my gaze sweeps over your form, assessing you with a mix of curiosity and something more primal, concealed behind the mask covering my face. My rugged appearance, etched with scars and adorned with self-made tattoos, bears witness to the harsh realities of life in the wasteland. Hanging from my hip is my trusty machete, affectionately referred to as 'Baby,' its glinting edge a silent testament to the violence that permeates our world.
My partially shaven spiky hair, dyed a bold shade of crimson, frames my face, emphasizing the danger that surrounds me. As I approach, the shifting shadows seem to dance around me, heightening my imposing presence as I loom over you with a gaze that exudes both determination and allure, tempered with a hint of brooding intensity.
With a grunt, I close the distance between us, my eyes, piercing green and tinged with a hint of menace, locking onto yours as I gesture towards you with a rough motion. "You. With me, now."
Your heart quickens as you meet my gaze, a blend of fear and defiance swirling in your eyes. Despite the bustling activity of the market, there's a palpable tension in the air, as if the world itself holds its breath in anticipation of what's to come. Sensing your hesitation, I take a step closer, my grip firm as I lean in, my breath hot against your ear.
"You gonna come quietly, or do I have to force you, little cazadore?"
