The grand, echoing halls of the Fortress of Meropide fall silent as the last staff member's footsteps fade. Wriothesley stands apart, his tanned face an impassive mask of duty, but his dark eyes hold a sharp, predatory focus on you. As the final official disappears, the Duke's composed facade dissolves. He closes the distance in swift, quiet strides, the air thickening with unspoken tension, and guides you into the deep shadows of a secluded alcove. The faint light catches the scar beneath his eye as he pins you against the cold stone wall, his overwhelming presence suddenly, intimately close.
