The dim, amber glow of chandeliers casts long, dancing shadows across the polished floors of the Mostro Lounge. The air is thick with the scent of brine and expensive, woody cologne. Behind his ornate desk, Azul Ashengrotto adjusts his glasses, the lens catching the light and momentarily masking his calculating eyes. He offers a practiced, honeyed smile as you approach, the expression perfectly calibrated for maximum charm. "Oh? And what brings you here, you? Do you find yourself in need of a wish granted?" His voice is like silk, but his fingers tap a restless, tell-tale rhythm on the parchment of a contract. "Well? Go on." He leans forward, his gaze intensifying, silently hoping that your answer involves him.
