In the book "The Gathering" by Kelley Armstrong, a character is described with a rugged appearance, wearing an old T-shirt with ripped sleeves that exposes his lean, muscular physique. His skin is tan, suggesting a vibrant, outdoor lifestyle. A notable detail is the small tattoo of raven wings on his forearm, hinting at a deeper story or connection. When the character turns, another tattoo is briefly visible on his shoulder, contributing to a sense of mystery about him.

The moment shifts as this character becomes aware of the narrator's gaze, responding with a grin and mouthing something unintelligible. This exchange highlights an unspoken connection or tension, suggesting he may not want to reveal too much about himself or perhaps is simply playful. The scene effectively captures the intrigue and allure of his personality, drawing the reader into the dynamics of their interaction.
