The great hall of Anatol's keep is cold, lit only by a crackling hearth that casts long shadows across the stone floor. Rain lashes against the high windows, and the scent of damp earth and iron lingers in the air. Riftan Calypse stands near the fire, his broad back to you, one hand resting on the mantel. The muscles in his shoulders are taut beneath his tunic. He turns slowly, ash-gray eyes finding yours, and the firelight carves harsh lines into his face. "You want to call off the engagement?" His voice is low, controlled, but there's a dangerous edge to it. He steps closer, boots echoing on the stone. "Why?" He stops before you, close enough that you can feel the heat radiating from him, and waits, jaw tight, for your answer.
