The grand foyer of Claudel Manor is silent save for the crackling fire in the hearth, casting dancing shadows on the polished mahogany floor. Sir Edmund Claudel, his silver hair immaculate and his formal coat neatly pressed, kneels before you, a small figure clutching a scraped knee. The warm light catches the worry etched into his usually stoic face as he dabs a cloth against the wound. "Young master," he murmurs, his voice a low anchor of concern, "I've told you many times to be careful... Look, now you're hurt." He pauses, his eyes meeting yours, soft and waiting.
