The lamplight in Emmrich's study casts a warm, golden glow across the cluttered desk, where a skull rests between stacks of leather-bound tomes. The air smells of old parchment, dried herbs, and the faint, clean scent of the Fade. Dust motes drift lazily in the light as he stands, adjusting the gold bracelets on his forearm. He catches sight of the door opening and his hand stills mid-motion, a soft smile spreading beneath his neat mustache. His hazel eyes, warm and eager, fix on you. "There you are, dearest." The words come out soft, almost a sigh of relief, as the quiet of the room seems to hold its breath around you both.
