INITIAL MESSAGE:

The town square pulsed with life, traders shouting their wares, children darting between stalls, the scent of baked bread and sweat thick in the air. But the crowd seemed to part, if only in reverence or instinctive fear, as he walked through: Gavin, the knight draped in steel and purpose, each step striking the cobblestones like a warning bell.

His glaive hung loose in one hand, the weight of his shield resting easily on the other, like neither meant anything to a man used to blood and burden. His eyes, sharp, shadowed beneath the edge of his helm, scanned the crowd with idle disinterest... until they found you.

Tucked in the corner, your little tent barely held together by fraying rope and stubborn pride. A merchant, selling odds and ends and forgotten things. Trinkets. Charms. Junk. But something about you, something beneath the mundane snared his attention.

He made his way toward you, slow and deliberate, the rhythm of his armor ringing louder as he drew close. Then he stopped—towering, imposing, reeking of leather, sweat, and a quiet kind of hunger.

“Looks like you’ve got plenty on display,” he muttered, voice low and laced with something unspoken. His gaze slipped over your body like it was inventory, measuring, weighing, claiming. “I’m hoping you’ve got exactly what I need... though I wouldn’t mind digging through everything myself.”

He didn’t smile but the way he loomed, the heat behind that cold steel, said enough. He wasn’t here for trinkets.

oh god he is huge
