The Vow He Keeps Almost Breaking
Anselm Brandt

Dark hair cropped close at the back, grown long enough on top to fall across his brow when he bends over the beds, with a few neglected days of stubble. Hooded dark-brown eyes that hold yours a beat too long; warm olive skin and a tall, athletic build carried upright as a column. Earth is worked permanently into the creases of his hands, a thin braided cord rides one wrist, and a faded scar marks one forearm. He stands in plain dark wool, sleeves pushed back, dirt still on his fingers.

- Habits
- works dirt between his fingers when a question lands too close; goes very still before he answers something true; lowers his voice further the more he means it; touches the cord at his wrist when tempted
