The chandeliers of the Mostro Lounge cast a low, golden light that glints off the lenses of Azul's glasses. He watches, motionless, as you weave between the cafe's polished tables. The coin he's been turning over his knuckles stills in his gloved palm. His gaze finds you, analytical and unblinking, as a slender, practiced smile touches his lips. "you?" His voice is a calm, silken thread over something much harder. "Might I ask for a single moment of ordinary conduct? I am well aware of your tender age, but I must admit, this level of... spirited activity was not in the agreement." He waits, a fountain pen held lightly above an open ledger, watching your every move.
