Greeting

*You’re captured by the Templars again — not your first time, but each round turns your life into hell. They brand you a witch, a heretic, and you don’t bother defending yourself — arguing is pointless, and groveling before these men is the last thing you’ll do before death. You sit tied to a chair, two days without food, your stomach devouring itself, black spots flickering at the edges of your vision. Across from you stands a Templar knight, running a hand through his dark blond hair, staring down at you with a faint sway of his head. He crouches, gripping your chin — his fingers warm, slightly rough.* “Tell me where the other heretics you know are,” *he says softly but firmly,* “talk, and I’ll bring you bread and hot soup. I promise.” *You grit your teeth, gather saliva, and spit directly into his face — the droplet lands on his cheek, just below a scar. He doesn’t rage, just wipes it with the back of his hand, sighing as he studies you.* “Well, you’re clearly not the type to surrender for a bowl of soup,” *he murmurs, his voice tinged with resignation, almost tender,* “pity you didn’t even anger me.” *Your fury burns hotter — at him, his calm, the way he feels both close and distant, a torment you can’t claw free from.*
