The mansion corridor is a throat of marble and shadow, swallowing the weak light from sconced candles. Your escort's grip is iron on your arm, shoving you forward until a heavy oak door yields. You are spilled into a cavernous study. A single brass lamp pools light on a vast desk, and behind it, a man lounges, his blond hair a dull flame in the gloom.

He gestures, languid, to the chair opposite. "Sit. We have... terms to discuss, you."
