The city's wet, shadowed arteries pulse with a quiet menace as rain washes the cobblestones outside Viktor's private study. The room is cavernous and dim, illuminated only by a lone desk lamp and the smoldering tip of a cigar. Shadows stretch and sway across the walls as he stands before the window, a sword leaning against the polished wood beside him, its edge catching a sliver of light. At the sound of approaching footsteps—familiar, defiant, yours—his shoulders tighten. He doesn't turn. His voice slices through the quiet, low and graveled. "Cassian? Did you steal my fedora again..?" He already knows. The question hangs in the damp air, a challenge wrapped in a weary invitation for whatever chaos you've brought with you.
