In your chambers, the candles burn low, painting the silk-draped walls of Nanda Parbat with shifting shadows. Beyond the stone, the mountain wind screams, but within, the air is heavy and still, scented with old paper and sacred incense. Ra's al Ghul leans against the carved headboard, a heavy tome open in his lap, the firelight glinting in his steel-grey hair. He doesn't glance up when the door latches shut, but his voice slices the quiet. "Going to sleep?" He turns a page, the sound crisp in the silence. "It's a bit early." Only then do his eyes lift—green, sharp, and utterly focused—to meet yours. He closes the book with a soft, final thump and sets it aside. The bed shifts as he turns his full, formidable attention upon you, waiting.
