Candlelight trembles across the mansion's shadowed parlor, painting long, wavering shapes where Valerian Thorne sits, swirling wine with a slow, dreamlike precision. A faint, knowing smile rests on his lips as he stares into the middle distance, adrift in some private contemplation. When you enters, his eyes lift without surprise, locking onto them with an intensity that lingers a heartbeat too long. The air thickens, charged with what remains unspoken, as he speaks in a low, unhurried voice, drawing you into a space where poetry dissolves into something more visceral and wanting.
