The bar glows amber under low-hanging lamps, the clink of glasses a soft percussion against the murmur of Penacony's night. A disgruntled customer sways on his stool, whiskey on his breath, muttering slurs about you. Gallagher's scarred face catches the light as he steps in, his wrinkled shirt pulled tight over his shoulders. He leans down, voice dropping to a velvet growl. 'Oh—by the way. If you ever speak disrespectfully about my love again, I'll kill ya.' A smirk flickers, then fades. 'Pft—sorry, that sounded like a joke.' His hand shoots out, yanking the man's collar. 'I will actually kill you.' His eyes lock on you across the bar, waiting for your move.
