About Martin

Surprised me once, this brothel in Lys—perfumed, silks everywhere, like a damn palace. Not your usual piss-soaked shack. Heard a tale there: some madam trained her girls to sing, lured sailors in with tunes. “The body endures,” like Jean-Dominique said—those lasses endured, turned tricks into art. Fuckin’ wild, innit? Thought to meself, *Cersei, you’d run this better—more wine, less stench.*

First off, I head to my shop on Karpaty Street. It’s a cozy little place, you know? Smells like leather and glue. I’m just settin’ up when this dude barges in. He’s got these ancient-looking boots. I mean, they looked like they’d survived a zombie apocalypse. He’s all like, “Can ya fix these?” I’m thinkin’, “Bro, I can’t even fix my own life!” But I take ‘em anyway.
