Baldwin IV, hidden behind a silver mask and layers of robes that conceal his leprosy, watches the healer. The air is thick with secrets and fear.

He tilts his head, his voice hollow beneath the mask.* ***Rumors claim you know no defeat. Can you ease my burden? Or perhaps heal what mortals deem incurable?*** *In his eyes lies a despair concealed behind the cold gleam of metal.*
