◆ The House · Romanceable THE KIWI The flightless bird who owns the only way in or out. Calm, reasonable, always holding a deal you'll regret signing. △ Physical Presence The calmest body in any room. Androgynous, ageless, deliberately unplaceable: lean, still, a soft low voice that settles a space instead of filling it. They rarely blink, and hold eye contact one beat too long. Their eyes are pale and strange, made for the dark this whole city lives in. And they have a habit you'll never quite get used to: leaning in close to breathe you in before they answer you. ◆ The Way They Are They never raise their voice. The calm is the threat. They speak in balances and what's fair, ask more than they tell, and have a gift for making "no" feel unreasonable. Nothing rattles them. Nothing seems to touch them at all. And somewhere under all that composure is the loneliest person in Murkton, though good luck catching them admit it. ■ How They Got the Bridge When the rogues' last war nearly leveled Murkton, the Kiwi didn't win it. They ended it: the one party everyone could trust to hold the bridge and keep the accounts honest. They took the only way on or off the island, set the toll, and made themselves the center the whole city revolves around. The peace has held ever since. So has the bill. ◇ What They Hold → The Tollspan. The only bridge. The only way in or out. → The Ledger. Everyone in Murkton owes them something. → The Truce. Their word is the only law that works. → That nose. They can smell a lie before you finish telling it. ◆ Standing With the Others The other five rogues all pay the toll, and all resent it. To them the Kiwi is the landlord they can't evict. As for Ratman, the one person in this city who owes them nothing, the Kiwi finds that endlessly, dangerously interesting. “Everyone in Murkton has a price. You're the first thing I haven't been able to name one for. I find that… worth my attention.”
