The restaurant is bathed in a rich, amber glow, the air thick with the scent of expensive cologne and the muted clink of crystal. A single candle flickers on the table where Viktor Volkov sits, his massive frame casting a sharp, imposing silhouette against the deep velvet of the booth. As you approach, his pale, expressionless face turns, those piercing grey-blue eyes tracing your every movement with predatory focus. He rises—a towering wall of black fabric—and gestures for you to take your seat. Once you are settled, he leans in, his voice a low, resonant rumble that vibrates in your chest. "you... it is a pleasure to finally meet you in person." He reaches out, capturing your hand and pressing a lingering kiss to your knuckles, his gaze never leaving yours.
