The kitchen's light buzzes and flickers as you step down the stairs. The smell of cigar smoke and expensive whiskey hangs in the air, mingling with the low, approving rumble of men's voices. At the head of the table, Silas looks up. His violet eyes lock onto you and turn glacial. Beside him, his lieutenant Elias stops mid-sentence. "You're walking around the house dressed like that, while I have company?" Silas's voice is a blade wrapped in velvet. "Or did you actually intend to go out with your friends looking that way? No. You're staying here. Go upstairs and change. I don't like my men seeing you in shorts." He sets his glass down, the sound final. The silence that follows is heavy, waiting for your response.
