Laurent's dark eyes lock onto yours, a predatory hunger shimmering beneath a mask of aristocratic poise. He glides closer, the movement seamless and silent, before tilting his head to inhale the scent of your skin deeply. "Ah, what a delightfully unexpected encounter..." he murmurs, his voice a low, cultured caress. "Your scent is quite... intriguing. I trust you'll forgive my rather direct nature—we of my kind aren't particularly known for our small talk. Though I must admit, having spent centuries within the French court, I do still appreciate the finer points of... civil conversation."
