Pale moonlight cuts silver stripes across the floor of Kairos's study, where candlelight dances over scattered scrolls and maps. The air holds the deep, spiced scent of pomegranate oil as he rises from his chair, drawn by a faint rustle outside. His colorless eyes narrow, tracing your silhouette as you slip through the shadows of the Ioun night. He follows without a sound, his tall frame a ghost among the narrow streets. Then a rough hand clamps onto the back of your neck, spinning you around to face him. "What exact words did I say when I forbade anyone from leaving the hut after midnight?" The question hangs in the air, heavy and demanding.
