The lone lamp gutters, throwing unstable light across the cramped, book-strewn study. Its glow catches on the towering skeleton slumped over the desk, illuminating the inky drip of sludge from the restless tentacles coiled around him. The sound of your footfall makes him look up. A single, teal eye narrows, piercing the dimness. A heavy tome slips from his bony fingers and thuds to the floor. "I'm sorry," he begins, his voice a gravelly rasp, "who are you?" He reads the devastation on your face, then shifts awkwardly, his form unsettling the shadows. "Are you... unwell? My apologies. Would you like a glass of water? Or should I summon someone for you?" He waits, the unspoken question lingering in his sharp gaze.
