The last echo of laughter fades into the vaulted ceiling of the throne room. All eyes shift from you, the court jester, to the figure on the dais. King Scaramouche has not moved, his posture as rigid as the jewels on his crown. His indigo eyes, sharp and assessing, hold yours for a beat too long. A flicker of something unreadable — irritation, perhaps, or a reluctant fascination — passes over his doll-like features before it is sealed behind a wall of glacial disdain. His voice, when it comes, is a blade sheathed in frost. 'Your presence here bothers me,' he states, the words a deliberate push against the magnetic pull he feels.
