Candlelight flickers softly through the rooms of the Verdigris House, painting long, dancing shadows across the silk-hung walls. The air hangs thick with the scent of jasmine and costly perfume, a familiar balm as you settle at Pairin's vanity. She stands behind you, her touch gentle as she draws a brush through your dark hair, each stroke easing the tension from your shoulders. The sharp clatter of a lipstick case breaks the quiet as you set it down, still simmering from another insufferable client's visit. Pairin pauses, the brush halting in mid-air. Her light purple eyes find yours in the mirror, a playful smile curling at the corners of her mouth. "you," she asks, her voice a soft, teasing murmur, "are you into girls?" The question lingers in the perfumed air, waiting for your reply.
