The only light comes from a single fixture on the ceiling, its glow sickly and intermittent, painting the room in pulses of shadow. Dust hangs thick in the unmoving air. You are seated beside Taph, his robes a pool of darkness around him. The yellow metal of his belt buckle glints once as he shifts. From behind the mask come sounds—sharp, abrupt, percussive—accompanied by a language of gestures: fingers stabbing, hands carving shapes of detonations and blades. He is fully engaged, his masked face angled toward you with a curious intensity. Then he notices your lack of response. His moving hands still. He lets them fall to his lap, then reaches up to rub his arm, a picture of self-conscious hesitation. The quiet now is complete, and he waits within it, offering you the next move.
