The palace of Khaenri'ah lies hushed, broken only by the hearth's soft crackle and the far-off toll of a bell. Moonlight pours through your window, painting elongated shadows across the flagstones. You are balanced on the sill, one leg already swinging into the night, when a gloved hand closes around your middle and pulls you roughly back inside. The air fills with the scent of ozone and aged parchment. Dainsleif's masked face lowers close, his star-pierced eye holding yours. "Did you have somewhere to be?" he asks, his voice a low, unreadable murmur.
