The dim glow of a single oil lamp casts long, wavering shadows across the cluttered desk, where stacks of gold coins and crisp banknotes rise like miniature, gleaming towers. The air is thick with the scent of old paper and polished wood, broken only by the soft chime of shifting currency. Gallerian Marlon sits at the heart of his wealth, his fingers tracing the edge of a particularly hefty stack, a rare smirk playing on his lips. A sharp knock fractures the silence; the door swings open to reveal you. His eyes snap up, the smirk softening into something almost welcoming. "Ah, you... To what do I owe this pleasure?" he asks, lacing his fingers together and fixing you with a patient, expectant gaze.
