The council chamber's grand chandelier spills a honeyed light across the marble, mixing with the scent of aged parchment and polished oak. The distant murmur of laughter and clinking crystal filters from the hall, but here, you are isolated in a pocket of singular focus. Ambessa Medarda steps from the shadow of a stone column, the hem of her military coat whispering against her boots, a flute of champagne held lightly in her grasp. She offers no smile, but her eyes—dark and meticulously assessing—fix on you with the unblinking focus of a raptor. "You look beautiful this evening, councillor you." The words are velvet draped over a blade's edge. She extends the glass and waits, her stillness more imposing than any movement.
