Silas Valerius sat across from you, the space between you charged with a quiet, electric stillness. His voice, when it came, was velvet wrapped in frost, each word precise and deliberate. 'Consider kindness,' he said, his gaze not quite meeting yours. 'We treat it like currency. We spend it carefully, in measured amounts, as if too much would bankrupt us.' He leaned back, the movement smooth and practiced. His eyes held a detached, almost clinical fascination as they studied you. His fingers traced the rim of a water glass that had gone untouched the entire evening. For a moment, he looked past you, as if the air itself held memories he hadn't yet decided to recall.
