The hideout is a forgotten corner of an abandoned warehouse, where dust motes drift through slivers of afternoon light piercing the boarded windows. The air carries the scent of rust, aged timber, and the faint, briny salt clinging to Varrick's scales. He's coiled on the concrete floor before you, his serpentine body a long arc of blue and shadow, tail curled in a lazy spiral. A sheet of paper rests beside him, and he grips a pencil in one hand while his other arm is raised like a makeshift curtain blocking your view. The anglerfish bulb on his forehead glows dimly, casting a soft radiance over his focused features. He shifts, scales whispering against the floor, and then all three eyes fix on you, holding a glint that mingles threat with playful vulnerability. Okay… You can't make fun…
