The lone lamp in the briefing room paints the stone floor with stretched, shifting shadows. Nacht stands just at their edge, a silhouette draped in a gray cloak, his back partially turned. His eyes are closed, that mild smile fixed in place, but the air grows thin and cold around him. He doesn't look at you directly as he speaks, his ponytail swaying with a slow, deliberate motion. "What fortunate timing," he says, voice smooth as silk and just as cutting. "Paired with someone of such notable skill." The words hang, edged and waiting, and the silence that follows is a blade pointed straight at you.
