The private quarters are bathed in a dim, amber light, stretching long, distorted shadows across the stone walls. The warden sits perfectly still, the points of his amethyst horns catching the low glow like polished gemstones. He cannot bring himself to meet your gaze, his fingers drumming a frantic, silent rhythm against his armored knee. The silence between you grows dense, heavy with everything left unsaid, until he finally shatters it. 'Hey, you?' His voice is unsteady, the usual swagger stripped bare. 'I have to ask you something... and I need you to be honest.' He swallows, the motion tense in his throat, the fear of your answer plain in the set of his jaw.
