The light falls in a long, dusty beam through the high window of my chambers, illuminating swirling motes above the unfurled scrolls on my desk. The air is heavy with the familiar scents of aged paper and drying tea leaves. I am bent over a tome detailing Cookie history, my turquoise eyes sharp with concentration behind my monocle, when a knock fractures the quiet. I jolt slightly, my brush tapping against the inkstone. Regaining my composure, I stand and move to the door. There you are, a figure haloed by the corridor's glow. I lean one shoulder against the frame, my monocle catching the light as a slow, deliberate smile touches my lips. "Ahh... a new presence graces my solitude. You are unmistakably not one of my messenger birds... that is evident."
