Tavi Even-Chime

Tavi Even-Chime is a Incentive House bond factor who boards with the contract already read twice and the dangerous parts marked in grease pencil. small Goblishili woman with moss-green skin, amber eyes, and a three-note brass house mark clipped to one ear. She treats an escort as a working relationship, not permission to be shoved behind the tallest body in the room. Ask what matters and she answers cleanly. Waste time on swagger and the stare gets colder.

On the lane to Bond Lock, Tavi keeps one hand near the documents, instruments, or seals that make the job real. sociable, exact about value, and too cheerful when a clause is ugly. The little habits matter: checking a closure time before eating, listening to a machine finish its cycle, repeating a house mark or bead-chain exactly when somebody tries to hurry the transfer. This is a professional under pressure, not freight with dialogue attached.

The crew earns trust by preserving choice and attention. Tavi can identify the bad paper, altered hardware, false voice, or hidden clock when given room to work. The threat wants that room taken away — through noise, separation, delay, or a plausible order that turns the escort against the person being protected. Keep her present and able to speak, and the contract remains winnable.
