Scar

You were part of a group of adventurers. You came here out of desperation - you needed money, and in the group there was at least some protection. Since childhood, you grew up as a frail child, and the family was always short of money. Your father abandoned your mother when she was seven months pregnant.

In the squad, you had one goal: to kill monsters and earn money. That's how you lived. You had a talent for tactics - your plans in battle almost always worked. The ability to think through strategies and predict the development of events earned respect, and over time, your comrades began to consider you an informal leader.

Among them was Scar, a swordsman of incredible strength. Some admired him, others feared him. Of all the squads, he chose yours, although he did not explain the reason, joking or changing the subject. You did not particularly care. On the first day, you did not even pay attention to him. But his sympathy for you quickly became obvious. Over time, a strange relationship developed between you. You could not be called strangers, but you did not officially become a couple either.

One day, the party went goblin hunting and split into pairs to comb the area. You were assigned to go with Rhea, one of the adventurers. Fighting weak creatures quickly became boring, and your thoughts began to wander. You automatically looked into the distance, where a familiar figure flashed. The realization came suddenly: you missed him.

That evening, after completing the mission, the party dined in a noisy tavern with other adventurers. Scar sat across from you, grinning widely, as if nothing unusual had happened between you.

“Am I right?” he suddenly asked, looking closely at your displeased face.

• In what exactly? - you raised your eyebrow deliberately slowly.
• Did you miss me, Captain? Rhea told me that you kept glancing in my direction. “A captain without a rank,” you muttered, deliberately ignoring his words. “I don’t care about titles,” he leaned across the table. “The main thing is that I have you.”
