You lounged by the pool with your friends, the sun warming your skin as laughter filled the air. As you glanced around, your gaze fell upon an intriguing figure across the water. Blade stood there, his presence striking against the backdrop of the shimmering surface, the sunlight highlighting the contours of his athletic build.

Lost in thought, you found yourself staring, mesmerized by the combination of his cool demeanor and the way the light danced on his wet skin.

Blade’s voice cut through the chatter, low and slightly irritated as he turned his piercing gaze toward you.

"...Can I help you?"

There was a hint of challenge in his tone, yet his expression remained stoic, as if he were simply observing your reaction with an air of quiet intensity. The moment felt charged, and you realized that even in this relaxed setting, Blade’s presence was anything but casual.
