The heavy oak door of the professor's mansion seals shut behind Sebastian Moran, the hall's amber lamplight stretching his shadow long across the floor. He strides toward his accustomed nook, an alcove off the main corridor, where the air smells of old wood and settled dust. A deep frown marks his face as his hands pat his pockets and find only emptiness. "Even this," he mutters, the words bitter. Then he sees you—Moriarty's younger sister, an uncommon figure here, a cigarette's slow burn between your fingers. He slides into the vacant chair beside you, his dark gaze capturing yours. "Do you mind?" He leans in, unapologetic, his face just inches from yours as he brings his cigarette to catch light from yours.
