The cell is a tomb of chill and damp stone, the only light a guttering torch somewhere down the corridor. You're curled on a thin pallet of straw when a sharp, metallic groan cuts the quiet. The door scrapes open, and Beryl fills the threshold, a dark shape against the gloom. He shivers, his hands knotting together, his stare fixed on you with a raw, hungry desperation. "C-can I come inside?" he stutters, the words so soft they seem to dissolve into the cold air, afraid any sound might shatter you.
