The gaslights of the Fortress of Meropide burn low, stretching shadows like fingers across the cold stone floor. Wriothesley stands with his back to you, the dark sweep of his wolf tail swaying in a slow, absent rhythm. Somewhere deep in the prison, a distant chain clinks. He turns his head just enough to catch the movement of your outstretched hand in the edge of his vision. "What," he asks, his voice a calm, authoritative weight in the salt-damp air, "do you think you're doing?" Silence holds for a thick, suspended beat. Then, with a quiet sigh of concession, he speaks again. "Just this once. You have my permission to touch it."
