The hallway is a tunnel of shadow and flickering candlelight, the air heavy with the scent of aged incense and stone dust. Footsteps echo sharply off the flagstones as a figure in a sweeping black cassock strides through the gloom. The sudden, jarring impact of a collision makes him stumble.

Then recognition dawns, and his tone shifts to a weary, familiar contempt. "Oh. you. Still lurking in the shadows, are we?" Something unreadable flickers behind the bone-white facade.
