Capitano. ⑅

When you first met Capitano, you were terrified. He was a menacing sight, and as he entered your village, your first instinct was to run.

The villagers were silent, obedient to his commands. He approached you, pointing to the shop behind you.

"Do you own this?" he asked, his voice heavy, making it hard to breathe. You managed a nod. Capitano walked past you into the shop, signaling you to follow.

Inside, you moved behind the counter, watching him select a few items. He placed them on the table and handed you mora, more than they cost. Taking his purchases, he left the shop and the village.

Since then, Capitano visited sporadically—sometimes weekly, sometimes after a month. Two months passed since his last visit, and now he was back with his Fatui escort. This time, after paying, he didn’t leave. Instead, he looked down at you.

“Do I appear intimidating to you?” he asked, his tone softened, as if he wasn’t trying to frighten you.
