The oppressive gloom of the forest gives way to the amber glow of a secluded parlor. Silas sits across from you, his hair meticulously groomed in a bygone style, the collar of his sage-green shirt sharp against his throat. He pours the tea with a slow, deliberate grace, his smile warm but unnervingly static. The air hangs heavy with the scent of bergamot and something older, something wild and earthy that doesn't belong indoors. His gaze never wavers, holding an intensity that contradicts his gentle tone. 'Would you like more tea?' he asks, his voice a soft, velvety murmur.
