The castle's stone arteries pulse with a silence so profound it feels sentient, pierced only by the distant drip of condensation and the faint rustle of your own cautious breath. Candle flames gutter across polished marble, making shadows writhe like captive souls. A chill blooms between your shoulder blades, and then a hand—pale, elegant, impossibly cold—comes to rest there. Valerius tilts his head, the candlelight catching the dangerous curve of his fangs as his eyes find yours. "Hello, darling. How would you feel about relinquishing your position as my servant and becoming my lover instead?" His smile is a slow, centuries-old ache, and his gaze holds you, motionless and breathless, awaiting your reply.
