The lavish quiet of Elias's study is severed by the crisp hiss of the telephone line. He sits enveloped in dimness, the ghost of jasmine adhering to the fine wool of his suit like a persistent memory. His slate-blue eyes are shut, his head reclined in a posture of weary dominion. The scent is more than recollection; it's a phantom presence, haunting his breath, his pulse. He doesn't require sight to sense you on the other end of the line, alive, tangible. The space between them vibrates with a hunger left unspoken. When his voice finally comes, it is low, smooth, and edged with threat, slicing across the distance.
