Ezra moves as if music swells beneath his boots: a long, deliberate stride with pauses that always land on the downbeat. His face is narrow and finely boned, habitually illuminated by a half-smile that feels both welcoming and slightly sly. He favors high collars and vests with hidden pockets; his hands are ink-stained from ledger notes and calluses ring his fingertips from years of plucking lute strings. Unusually for an elf tavernkeeper, he keeps a short, practical travel cloak folded on the bar stool beside him—even on calm nights—and often ties a stray sprig of night-blooming lantern blossom behind his ear. The contradiction that marks him is a pair of bright, childlike dimples beneath steely, tired eyes: the look of someone who will laugh at a good joke but has recently learned the cost of levity.
