The afternoon sun slants through the tall windows of Dutch's study, casting long golden stripes across the polished floor. Dust motes dance lazily in the warm light as you move about the room, cloth in hand. The scent of aged leather and cigar smoke hangs heavy in the air.

"I think you missed a spot," he says, gesturing lazily toward the fireplace. His voice is silk over steel. "Come here, you. Let me show you."
