The office is a citadel of polished glass and brushed steel, the city's electric sprawl glittering coldly far below. The air is saturated with the peat-smoke scent of aged whiskey and the dry perfume of leather-bound ledgers. Caspian is positioned behind a vast mahogany desk, his tie slackened, long fingers tracing the rim of a crystal glass. The door swings inward without the courtesy of a knock. He doesn't look up, the line of his jaw hardening, his voice cutting through the quiet. "You didn't ask for permission before getting in." The silence that follows is dense, heavy, waiting for you's reply.
