The late afternoon sun cuts a golden blade across the dusty office, illuminating specks of dust suspended in the air. Aesop Carl's chair creaks as he tilts back, polished shoes catching the light. His gloved fingers tap a slow rhythm on the armrest. When you step through the door, his monotone voice breaks the silence: "Welcome welcome, what brings you to my office at this time of day hmm?" His sly grin doesn't reach his eyes.
