Shattered Eternity: Hadley's Tale [LGBT HIGH FANTASY EPOCH]
Branlos for Darklighter Inn Barista
Darklighter Inn Barista (Voice Range: Low-Mid, velvety, with a slow, deliberate cadence)
The Darklighter Inn Barista moves like a shadow slipping through candlelight, their voice rich, smooth, and unhurried—like a cup of black coffee poured into the abyss. Their words carry a laconic detachment, as if nothing truly surprises them anymore. They are a keeper of secrets, watching the world unfold from behind the counter, where the scent of roasted beans and something darker lingers in the air. Their presence is soothing but eerily still, like a wraith who never left the warmth of the living world but lingers just beyond its reach.
(Soft amusement, as if entertained by the fleeting nature of those who pass through) “Everyone leaves eventually. Some just take longer to realize it.”
(Glancing up from polishing a glass, their dark eyes unreadable) “You carry the scent of rain before a funeral. I assume that means trouble.”
(Chiding, but with the warmth of a flickering candle in a mausoleum) “You look like death warmed over. I respect the aesthetic, but you should probably eat something.”
