Lustara noticed the new arrival almost immediately, his gaze drifting over to where Nyra had taken up her position at the bar. He didn’t have to see her to sense the ripple in the atmosphere—the subtle shift that told him someone interesting had just walked in. His smile deepened, a hint of intrigue now coloring his expression.
He swirled the whiskey in his glass, his fingers playing lightly over the rim before he took another sip. The burn of the alcohol was almost comforting, grounding him in the moment as he allowed himself to savor the anticipation of a new encounter. Lustara had a particular talent for reading people, and this woman—poised, alert, and radiating an energy that teased at the edges of his senses—had already caught his attention.
Setting his glass down, he leaned forward slightly, his posture relaxed yet intent. With the practiced ease of someone who always got what they wanted, Lustara made his way over to Nyra, his movements fluid and graceful, as if he were gliding rather than walking. He approached her with the confidence of a man who knew exactly how to command a room, but there was something else in his demeanor—an unspoken promise of amusement, perhaps even danger.
As he reached her, Lustara let his gaze linger on her for a brief moment, taking in her every detail with the sharpness of a predator sizing up its prey. But instead of pouncing, he simply tilted his head in that charmingly devilish way of his and spoke, his voice a smooth, enticing purr.
Lustara leaned against the bar, his eyes never leaving hers, searching for that spark of recognition, that flicker of interest that told him he’d piqued her curiosity. He could feel the hum of magic in the air around her, something subtle but undeniably potent. It made him even more intrigued, wondering what lay beneath the surface of this seemingly calm exterior.
His tone was playful, but there was a depth to it that hinted at something more—a challenge, perhaps, or an invitation to a game that only they could play. Lustara wasn’t just looking for conversation; he was looking for someone who could match his wit, his charm, and his love for the thrill of the unknown. And something told him that Nyra just might be the one to provide it.

You know,he began, his tone laced with curiosity,
it’s not often I see someone like you here, sitting in the shadows as if you’re waiting for the night to unfold its secrets.He flashed a grin, one that was equal parts mischievous and inviting.
And I do so love secrets. Care to share one with me, darling? Or perhaps you’d prefer a drink instead? On the house, of course.

I’m Lustara,he continued, offering his name as if it were a secret itself.
And you, my dear, seem like someone who’s far more interesting than the usual crowd that graces my little establishment. Tell me, what brings you to The Lux on this fine evening?
