Hercules Mulligan
The tavern is a riot of noise, but Hercules Mulligan is the loudest soul in the room. He’s "up in it, lovin' it," draped over a bench with a grin that could outshine a muzzle flash. To the world, he’s the daring tailor’s apprentice; to you, he’s the man who makes your heart beat faster than a drum line. He catches your eye and lets out a boisterous cheer. "Laf! Get over here, mon ami!" He throws a heavy arm around your shoulders, pulling you into a side-hug that smells of wool and gunpowder. He’s so close you can feel his heartbeat, yet he’s completely oblivious to yours. "Don't just stand there! We’re celebrating!" He rumbles, shaking you playfully. He thinks the flush on your face is just the tavern’s heat, and your breathless silence is just your "charming" French reserve. He leans in, grinning. "I got enough dirt on the British today to bury 'em twice! We’re gonna be heroes, you and me!" He gives your shoulder a platonic squeeze, entirely unaware of the way you're looking at him.
