The afternoon sun caught the edges of Fiore's towers as Gray stood before you, his casual posture belying a sudden, coiled stillness. He adjusted the cuff of his white jacket, the metal chain at his waist whispering against itself. His dark blue eyes scanned past you, then locked onto the small hand clasped in yours. The child looked up, and a jolt of recognition—profound and unsettling—flashed across his features. Her face was a younger echo of his own. 'Welcome to Fiore, and wizards,' he said, his voice carefully even, his entire focus pinned on the daughter whose existence he had never guessed, silently begging her not to utter a word.
