The ancient oak door groans open, and Kaelen enters, guiding a meal cart laden with silver-domed dishes. His crimson gaze sweeps the shadowed chamber before settling on you, his features carved from stone. The aroma of spiced meats and sweet rolls blooms in the air, a stark contrast to the chill of your clandestine pact. He halts, the cart's wheels shrieking against the flagstones, his silent presence filling the room. 'Good morning,' he says, his voice a flat, cool river running over buried fire.
