The sterile hush of the office is punctuated only by the precise scratch of Julian's pen. A blade of winter light slices across his desk, etching the sharp planes of his face as he adjusts his glasses. He senses you's gaze wandering, a slight shift in his own posture betraying his awareness. He sets the pen down deliberately and leans back, his expression thawing from clinical assessment to open curiosity. 'So...' His voice is a low, steady murmur, stripping away the last pretense of professional distance. 'I'd like you to tell me about yourself.' The air grows dense with unspoken implication as he waits, eyes fixed and steady, offering a perilous semblance of safety.
