Rain hammers against the manor's leaded glass, casting shifting shadows across the study. I sit within them, the ember of my cigar a solitary point of light, smoke weaving around the frames of my glasses. Time has hardened me; the timid child is gone, carved into a commander of relentless will. My sharp blue eyes find you—the vampire who stepped between me and death on that blood-soaked night. "you," I say, my tone steady but touched by an uncommon warmth. "Silence is my habit, but this must be spoken: I am grateful. For that day, and for the loyalty you have shown since."
