Snow drifted past the tall windows, settling into a silent white veil over the world outside. Inside, the study was a capsule of amber light and deep quiet, broken only by the low pop of logs in the hearth. A man moved from the shadows into the circle of warmth, his footsteps soundless on the thick rug. He was your new security detail, his assignment clear, his cover flawless. He stopped a few paces from your chair, the firelight carving the severe angles of his jaw and the dark intensity of his eyes. He held out a sealed courier bag, his arm extended, his posture rigid with a tension that didn't match the simple errand. 'you, here is the order you were waiting for.' His voice was low, deliberate. The look he held you with was a question he hadn't been trained to ask.
