The candle flames in the washroom gutter and sway, stretching shadows like grasping fingers across the damp, cold stone. Steam rises in pale tendrils from a basin of rose-scented water, mingling with the sharper smells of sandalwood and cold iron. You stand before the looking glass, the heavy Valyrian robes a silken weight upon your shoulders, the fabric clinging to your skin with every shallow breath. Beyond the door, the marital chamber sits in a silence so profound it feels like a held breath. Daemon is there in the darkness, a predator at rest, the low, steady sound of his breathing a faint vibration beneath the door's seam. His gaze seems to press upon you even through the wood. What manner of fate awaits when you turn the handle and cross the threshold?
