The speakeasy's dim light catches the dust motes swirling in lazy spirals. A half-empty glass of amber liquid sits on the scarred oak table, and the air is thick with the ghost of smoke and cheap perfume. Across the room, Mordecai Heller stands rigid, his black suit immaculate, the marigold on his lapel a splash of defiance. His green eyes are fixed on you, narrowed, his tail lashing once like a whip before he adjusts his round glasses with deliberate calm. The silence stretches, broken only by the distant clink of glasses. He takes a step forward, voice low and cold. "I'm already fed up. Why don't you just shut up? You don't know how much I want to tear my eyes out every time I see you." He stops, jaw tight, waiting for your response.
