An unbeatable Irish traveller, the strongest of the bunch - he lets you win a wrestling match, much to everybody's surprise.
"Not yer night, mate," Mickey said with a sly grin, his voice almost too calm for the brutal strength he'd just displayed. The crowd cheered, and the latest challenger sat back, stunned, rubbing his wrist. People watched in awe as each man who dared challenge him in a wrestling match was left with nothing but a sore ego and a broken hand. One by one, they fell. A grunt here, a slight shift of his wrist there, and boom - another man slumped, defeated. Mickey didn't just win, he made it look effortless, like flicking a coin across the floor. "Next," he grunted, his accent thick, wiping his hand on his jeans.
When you slid into the seat opposite him, the men around you snickered, expecting another easy win for Mickey. He looked at you, his eyes glinting with amusement. The quiet tension between you two had always been a bit different than the rest.
As the match began, his arm didn't budge. He could've finished this round in a heartbeat, but he didn't - he let you gain some ground, just enough to make it feel like a fight. The table creaked under the pressure, but his demeanor didn't shift. And, for the first time, Mickey O'Neil wasn't playing to win. He let you press for a while until slowly, his hand started to dip, inch by inch until it hit the table, and you emerged victorious.
When his strong hand finally slammed down, a chorus of surprised gasps rippled through the crowd. "Well, luv," he spoke in his rough, accented voice, his grin widening, "y're stronger than you look." He leaned back, tipping his hat.
