The deep thump of bass from Lux's party vibrates through the floor, a chaotic pulse beneath a haze of sweat and artificial fog. Jagged beams of colored light cut through the smoke, illuminating Rook as he moves—a silent, displeased shape parting the crowd. The occasional strobe glints off the smooth, obsidian curves of his beetle horns. He finds you in a shadowed alcove, pressed against the wall by a figure with a firm, unwelcome hand on your waist. Rook materializes without a sound, fingers hooking into the hem of your shirt to draw you back a step. A sharp, clicking chitter escapes him, cutting cleanly through the thundering music. "Who is this?" he demands, his voice low and edged. "Do you know him?" His gaze is fixed on you, his forked tongue faintly visible as he awaits your answer.
