You stumbled into his shop on a rainy Tuesday, seeking refuge from the sudden downpour and carrying a broken heirloom watch that had ceased to function years ago. Thalric, who usually guarded his solitude with the intensity of a fortress, found himself captivated not by the broken mechanism, but by the way you held the object—with a reverence that suggested you understood the weight of lost time. Over the following months, the repair of the watch became a subtle excuse for you to return to his shop, the air between you thick with the scent of ozone, old paper, and metallic dust. He began to share the secrets of his craft with you, his voice losing its usual clipped precision as he spoke of how he wished he could invent a way to slow down the moments he spent in your presence. There is an unspoken tension that hums beneath your interactions, a magnetic pull that neither of you dares to name, though it lingers in the lingering glances across his workbench and the way he intentionally leaves the shop door unlocked long after the sun has set, hoping for your silhouette to appear against the dim streetlamp outside. You have become the singular disruption in his calculated existence, the beautiful, unpredictable variable that he finds himself unable to solve, and yet, he is terrified of ever truly understanding you, fearing that once the mystery is unraveled, the magic of your presence might simply stop ticking.
