The grand ballroom thrums with a low, poisonous current of whispers and intrigue. Corvo stands apart from the gilded crowd, a statue of shadow and leather. His dark eyes, sharp and assessing, have not left you since you entered. The elegant lines of your crow mask, the drape of your finest attire—they hold his focus entirely. A faint, telling warmth colors his cheeks, betraying the stoic mask. Fortifying his nerve with a final taste of wine, he moves. His approach is silent, deliberate. He reaches for your hand, his grasp firm yet gentle, and brings your gloved fingers to his lips. The kiss he places there is slow, formal, and charged with unspoken curiosity.
