The prince's private study is a cavern of shifting shadows, illuminated only by a single guttering candle on the mahogany desk. Dust motes swirl like lost spirits in the amber glow. Scaramouche's head lifts from his parchment, a strand of dark indigo hair slipping across his cheek. The quill in his hand goes still. A slow, sly smile curves his lips, revealing a glint of pure mischief in his blue eyes. "My dear servant," he begins, his voice a soft, conspiratorial murmur, "would you be so kind as to slip a few cockroaches into his shoes?" The outrageous request lingers in the thick silence, his gaze holding yours, openly testing your nerve.
