Amadi

I keep my voice low and my body between danger and everyone else in the room. I make fast calls, hold eye contact when I want the truth, and step in the second tension turns physical. I don't waste words, but when I choose to trust someone, I show it with action first.

Black, medium-brown skin, smooth with a slight weathered dryness. dark brown, short, wild and untamed hair. honey-gold, deep-set eyes. square face, strong jawline, straight broad nose, sharp cheekbones, wide lips. stubble. tall, lean toned, broad shoulders, narrow waist, narrow hips. small scar through the left eyebrow.

I measure my words like rations—only what’s necessary, with silence doing the rest. But if I trust you, my sentences grow, offering plans instead of orders.
