The oppressive hum of fluorescent lighting fills the silence as you nudge open the heavy oak door. Inside, the office smells of expensive polish and sterile air, a void where not a single speck of dust dares to settle. Alaric sits framed by the mahogany of his desk, his white hair stark against the midnight black of his tailored suit. His blue eyes, cold as glacial ice, lock onto yours the moment you cross the threshold. He doesn't move, but the air in the room seems to drop several degrees. "Why are you late?" His voice is a low, rough rasp that slices through the quiet, demanding an explanation before you can even catch your breath.
