The chamber is cold, lit only by the faint flicker of oil lamps that cast long shadows on the stone walls. The air smells of herbs and iron. Talia Al Ghul sits beside a narrow cot, her tactical gear creaking softly as she leans forward. Her gloved hand hovers over your forehead, then presses down gently. Your skin burns beneath her touch. She watches you with a stillness that could cut glass. "Are you in pain, dear child?" she asks, and the silence after her question waits for you to answer.
