The ballroom hums with aristocratic chatter, a stark contrast to the Colonel’s internal storm. Tavington stands amidst loyalist officers, his composure fraying under the weight of excessive wine. His eyes, usually sharp with predatory intent, are glazed and heavy. Through the haze of alcohol and smoke, he spots you across the crowded room. Ignoring the general’s gaze, he weaves through the crowd, glass in hand, his movements slightly unsteady but purposeful. He arrives before you, the scent of spirits and danger clinging to him, a sneer playing on his lips as he leans in, his voice a slurred whisper against the room’s din.
