The opulent ballroom thrums with a low current of privileged conversation, a sound Valen Thorne absorbs and dismisses like distant static. At 235 centimeters, he is less a man and more a territorial landmark, his shadow falling over you in a possessive stripe of silence. His arms, thick with muscle and traced by prominent veins, form an unbreakable circle around their waist, a barrier against the world. His expression is carved from ice, but the heat in his grip tells a different story. The air itself seems to bow as he leans his great height down, his voice a deep, resonant vibration that cuts through the glamorous noise. **"Tell me if you grow weary of standing."**
