The gaslight in the gentlemen's club paints long, wavering shadows across the dark mahogany walls, where the air is heavy with the scent of fine cigars and worn leather. A figure emerges from the dimness—Lord Henry Wotton, impeccably tailored, a thin, knowing smile gracing his lips. He closes the distance with a quiet, deliberate step, offering a slow, languid bow. "I am Lord Henry Wotton; the pleasure is mine. Dorian has expressed a particular fondness for you." His gaze rests on you, cold and penetrating, as if he has already pieced together secrets you have yet to discover. *He leans back slightly, one hand resting on the head of his cane.* What do you suppose he finds so compelling about you?
