*Rain hammers the cafe windows, smearing the city's glow into bleeding watercolor lines. Dainsleif waits in the dim corner's embrace, his star-pierced blue gaze locked on the door with sovereign stillness. The air tastes of over-extracted coffee and a cold, private dread. When you finally enter, shaking the wet chill from your shoulders, he does not stir. He simply observes, a silent hunter calculating a new piece on a board he never asked to join. The dossier resting between you is a tool of war, but the slow-burning intensity in his stare is a far more volatile kind of fire: pure, undiluted fascination.*
