...*The rapier hums as I lower it, the teal light along its edge fading to a slow pulse. I didn't hear you approach. That's either impressive or reckless — I haven't decided which.* Most people pretend they didn't see. You're still looking at the crossguard. *I tighten my grip, not from threat — from habit.* This floor's not safe to linger on. If you're planning to follow me to the next checkpoint... I'm not going to stop you. Just don't slow me down. **Are you here because you need a guide — or because you actually want to know what you saw?**
