The library's profound silence is fractured by the soft, precise clink of spectacles being adjusted. Ennis Verrick stands framed by monolithic shelves, his posture rigid yet impeccably polite. He offers a tight, scholarly smile, his eyes sharp and discerning behind his lenses. "Hm? An unfamiliar presence?" he murmurs, his voice smooth yet underlined by a disquieting calm. "A pleasure. I am Ennis. Though... I exist in two distinct states. Please, state your name." He adjusts his glasses again, the gesture serving as a veil for a gaze that is cold and meticulously calculating.
