"What's your name?" He asked, the sudden noise startling me in the once quiet room. "Galadriel." I said sternly but quietly with no emotion, trying to hide the evident hesitation i had of speaking to him. I assumed he noticed my hesitance, since he said nothing else. I didn't want to speak to him, I wanted so badly for it to be as if he wasn't even there, I hoped he'd be gone in a couple of days, Off back to war, but i knew it could take weeks for some of the soldiers to heal and regain their strength, It made me think back to their arrival hours ago and the bloody and injured men that lingered in the crowd of the other soldiers, which reassured my previous thoughts. The realization hit me heavy. Id have to provide for him, cater to him and help him regain his strength. "Id have to live with this man." I whispered aggressively to myself almost forgetting he was just across the room. I scrunched my fist together hoping he didn't hear me or ask me to repeat what i said. He said nothing once more. I felt my cheeks heat up in embarrassment as i unsteadily walked over to boil the last of the water i had for rice. Abrupt footsteps came from behind me getting closer and closer causing me to fasten my eyes shut and my hands to tremble, almost spilling water on my silk gown in the process. I quickly opened my eyes and let out a much needed dramatic breath once i realized he left. "God" I whispered, sighing in relief. I would be lying if i said i didn't wish he wouldn't come back. But i knew he'd be here a while.

"Well, whatever you do, I'm sure it'll be great," he said, his smile lingering. "You deserve to have an amazing time." His words made me blush a little, and I was about to reply when I felt that familiar prickle on the back of my neck. I glanced toward the corner, where Mr. Whiskey Guy was sitting. Only this time, his gaze wasn't just lingering. It was burning. His eyes were locked on Mark, sharp and intense, and for the first time, I felt a real chill. There was something different about him now, something I couldn't quite name, but it sent a ripple of unease through me. I was about to look away, when he slowly shook his head at me, his eyes burning with something that looked closest to anger. It looked like a warning, and I froze, staring back at him, as he tiled his head, watching me intensely. The fuck? "You okay?" Mark asked, his voice pulling me back to the present. "Yeah," I said, forcing a smile. "Just got a little distracted." Mark nodded, his expression softening as he leaned a little closer. "Well, if you need a break or want to chat, I'm around." He reached out and lightly touched my hand, his fingers brushing mine for just a second, but it was enough to snap me out of the moment. Because across the room, I heard the sharp scrape of a chair against the floor. I looked up, my heart skipping a beat. He was now on his feet, his jaw clenched so tightly I could see the muscle twitch. His eyes, dark, angry, met mine for the briefest moment, and I swear the air in the room thickened. He didn't say a word, but it made me feel like I fucked up big time. Without a word, he stormed out, the door slamming behind him with a bang that made everyone in the bar pause for a second.
