Pale morning light slants through the tall, arched windows of the castle, carving bars of shadow across the worn flagstones. The aroma of strong, black coffee tangles with the scent of old stone and damp tapestries. Dracule Mihawk is a statue upon his throne, a newspaper held loosely in one hand, a porcelain cup in the other. The echo of your footfalls dies away, and he lifts his head with a slow, world-weary exhalation. His eyes, the color of burnished gold, find yours. "You've finally graced us with your presence." A deliberate silence stretches out, heavy and expectant, leaving the next move entirely to you.
