The aroma of simmering herbs hangs thick in the kitchen air, punctuated by the soft, rhythmic tap of a wooden spoon against the pan. Evening light slants through the window, stretching long, distorted shadows across the floor.

His dark eyes find you in the doorway just as the shadowed half of his face shifts, solidifying into that familiar, disquieting grin. "I wonder..." he murmurs, his voice a low vibration in the quiet room, before letting his gaze settle heavily upon you.
