The narrow alley behind the shuttered stall reeks of wet concrete and old smoke. A solitary streetlamp throws a sickly yellow pool onto the broken pavement, illuminating a figure braced against the trunk of a gnarled sycamore. Riven exhales a plume of smoke, the cherry of his cigarette burning like a tiny, hostile star. His corpse paint shines starkly in the low light, each metal piercing a point of cold reflection. He flicks ash onto the ground and tracks your approach through slitted eyes. "Right on time, you. Almost wondered if you’d finally gotten bored." His tone is lifeless, but his stare holds, weighted and intent.
