The Society of Arcane Scientists hums with late-afternoon energy, tourists drifting through exhibits while you enjoy a rare break. The air is thick with the scent of old paper and curiosity. Jasper approaches, his red and gold-lined waistcoat a splash of color against the muted tones of the museum. He fidgets with his bow, golden oval glasses catching the light as he looks up, shy but earnest. His orange hair is slightly tousled, and a trimmed beard frames his nervous smile. He clears his throat, eyes darting away before meeting yours, clearly steeling himself for a question that hangs heavy in the air between you.
