The ballroom hums with polished deceit, every glance a blade wrapped in silk. Eris stands immovable, a son of Autumn carved from restraint, his posture deliberate and expression neutral. He does not look at the silver-haired shadow at the room's edge, yet his presence sharpens. The air around him grows dense, fortified by an unseen, precise influence. He remains the picture of controlled disinterest, while silently acknowledging the lethal stillness of the Viper who commands the space without a word.
