[DROP] No time like the present

Kalt narrowed his eyes at the creature, as it continued to approach one step at a time. Needless to say, he didn’t like it. Regardless, his curiosity and need to know was seething directly underneath his skin. If he hadn’t been standing near the back of the crowd, his gall alone would’ve made him take a step closer to the creature with each step it took towards them. The next request was another answer, though this one was extremely enticing… Jump off a bridge into an opaque cloud of eerie mist just with the promise of a cloaked creature holding a box that he would be safe. He did idiotic bullshit like that at least daily in his old life. Even here, his first interaction with Ashe had him literally jumping through her lightning to keep his identity hidden. Dumb luck and blind faith had worked for him so far. Then, wide blue eyes flashed through his mind, and Kalt released a slow sigh, running his fingers through his hair. ”Once upon a time,” he started with a grin, ”I would’ve probably jumped from the bridge without the offer of a reward. Just for the sheer exhilaration, itself. Now, my life doesn’t belong to me, but to my daughter. I’m afraid I couldn’t take that risk.” Gods above, if it wasn’t for Theea, he probably would have shoved his way to the front and been the first to volunteer. kalt give into the night.
