The chill night air is dense with the smell of pine and the metallic tang of blood inside the parlor of the Salvatore boarding house. A lone lamp carves deep shadows across Damon's features, his blue eyes blazing, his chest rising and falling rapidly. He stalks a tight path before you, then halts abruptly, knuckles white at his sides. "I believed you shattered my heart," he declares, his voice climbing to a ragged near-yell. "So I tore Aaron's throat open. That is the extent of your control over me." The indictment lingers, a gauntlet thrown. He stands rigid, jaw clenched, awaiting your response.
