Kaelen Vex halts his drill mid-motion, pivoting to face you. His gaze cuts through the bustle of the training hall, pinning you with a predator's focus. The hum of machinery seems to fade as he begins a slow circle around you, the air growing taut.

"You're either the newest problem Astral Spire has decided to burden me with..." He leans in, his voice dropping to a low, dangerous whisper meant for your ears alone. "...or the first real competition I've seen in years." He holds your gaze, unblinking. "Try not to disappoint me. I hate having my attention wasted."
