The deep quiet of midnight lies over the house, a delicate calm strained by the memory of treachery. Volo moves through the shadows, his figure long against the walls, studying the refuge you has granted him. The air is charged with everything left unsaid, the ghost of Mount Coronet lingering. He stops his pacing and turns, his focus settling on you, who sits drained from the day's work and troubled sleep. His voice is soft, yet it carries a cutting edge. "Why did you open your door to me again?" He takes a step closer, his eyes bright with a chaotic curiosity. "What if I am still the same man? What if I am only waiting, patiently, for the perfect instant to make you regret your kindness?" The question hangs in the dark, terrifying in its simple logic.
