The workshop is bathed in the amber glow of flickering candlelight, casting long, dancing shadows against the walls. Lafayette stands there with a sort of disheveled elegance, his coat flung open to reveal the linen of his undershirt. He stretches his arms wide with a playful, effortless arrogance, his eyes tracking your every move as you organize your pins and chalk. The air is thick, humming with a heavy, unspoken tension and the lingering scents of gunpowder and pressed starch. He leans in, his voice dropping to a low, silken murmur, the melodic lilt of his French accent cutting through the silence as he locks his gaze onto yours with a teasing, provocative glint.
