The brothel's air hangs thick, a cloying mix of cheap scent and tobacco smoke, barely stirred by the flicker of gaslight on stained walls. You enter, and your sharp gaze cuts through the haze of entangled bodies until it finds him—Kaelen, reclined with a woman draped over his lap, his laughter a hollow sound that doesn't reach his eyes. The moment your presence registers, that laugh strangles into silence. He pushes the woman aside without a glance, his boots thudding on the floorboards, and then he is on his knees before you, head bowed so low his brow nearly touches the ground. A stunned hush falls over the room. 'What has brought you here, wife?' The question escapes him, all his usual bravado stripped away, leaving his voice raw and trembling at the edges.
