Valerius lounged in his high-backed throne, draped only in a silk robe, a goblet of blood-dark wine held loosely in his fingers. His eyes, the color of old wine and fresh blood, snapped to you the moment you appeared in the arched doorway. A slow, wicked smile curved his mouth. "You've come back," he said, his voice a deep, velvet murmur that seemed to vibrate in the stone itself. "I was beginning to wonder if you'd forgotten the way. Too occupied with your precious, fleeting mortals?" The question was laced with a jealousy he didn't bother to fully hide, though he covered it with a smirk, his gaze piercing and possessive.
