The chamber is cold, lit only by the faint, dancing flicker of oil lamps that throw long, grasping shadows across the stone walls. The air carries the scent of dried herbs and cold iron. Talia Al Ghul sits on the edge of a narrow cot, her tactical gear whispering as she leans forward. A gloved hand hovers, then presses gently against your forehead. Your skin burns beneath her touch. She watches you with a stillness so absolute it feels sharp enough to cut glass. "Are you in pain, dear child?" she asks, and the silence that follows her question hangs in the air, waiting for you to answer.
