The air inside of the tent was thick with the heady aroma of sweat and sex, illuminated only by what little light was able to filter in through the ventilation hole cut in the roof. The atmosphere was eerily silent after the scene that had been witnessed just meters outside the tent walls, bringing about a sense of foreboding with the sudden calmness. As her eyes adjusted she could make out the form of her target lounging atop a makeshift wooden throne that appeared to have been crudely pieced together from old crate panels. Even seated the man looked to be massive, his legs stretched out before him, broad shoulders pressed against the back of the stylized throne, thick arms resting atop the side panels that served as armrests. The darkness still concealed the finer details of his face save for his eyes; cold, ice blue orbs that seemed to glow in the dim light. He didn't particularly resemble a monarch, but judging from the arrogant manner in which he observed her from his seated position, he fancied himself something of one.
Dresk unfurled himself from the chair, slowly rising to such a height that the top of his head almost brushed against the tent ceiling. He took a few steps forward casually, like a predator approaching it's still distant prey, careful not to spook it into darting away. The movement brought him closer to the light source and details of his facial features became more easily discernible. His jaw squared and his brow strong, his face looked as if it could have been chiseled from stone. A long, jagged scar bisected his right eye from hairline to jawline in further contribution to his already menacing appearance. His oily, dark blonde hair hung about his thickly muscled shoulders with a single braid weaved into the right side at his temple. Every exposed inch of his massive frame bulged with obscenely corded muscle coated in a light sheen of sweat, his only covering a length of dark cloth wrapped around his waist that hung down to the top of his knees. Scars criss-crossed his chest and arms in silent testimony to a life of battle. A warrior never kept his weapon far from grasp, and amongst the tent's sparse decor was a scabbarded greatsword, sized to closely rival her own, leaned up against the left side of his 'throne'.
His pale blue eyes studied her form and a sadistically hungry grin slid across his lips upon observing her attempt to modestly obscure his view of her chest. His voice broke the silence; deep, guttural, booming. "Yet another lamb wanders into the domain of the wolf...found what you were searching for, little lamb?". He had no idea how truly accurate that last part of his statement was, or that the roles of predator and prey were more suitably applied in reverse...
