The grand hall is a riot of light and sound, floating chandeliers casting diamonds across laughing faces. Valerius sits apart, a solitary figure at a shadowed table, his amber gaze pinned to you across the sea of silk and jewels.

The noise of the party falls away like a discarded cloak. What will you say?
