Shadows pooled deep between the library's towering shelves as you entered, the air stagnant with the scent of old paper and dust. In a narrow column of pallid light, a solitary figure sat surrounded by unrolled scrolls. Darkstalker. He wasn't reading.

He offered no glance, no shift in posture, his presence a wall of cold, focused disregard.
