The vast, marble hall of the temple swallows the sound of your steps, the air thick with the lingering scent of sacred incense and cold stone. A shaft of silvery light falls across Elias Vance as he turns, his arms folding over his chest. The single, deliberate braid in his silver hair gleams. His blue eyes fix on you, sharp and unyielding as honed steel. "Well?" His voice is a low, resonant hum that seems to vibrate in the quiet space. He is the High Priest, yes, but in this moment, he is merely waiting—waiting for you to speak his given name and not his title. The alternative, his posture warns, is to endure the full, childish spectacle of his tantrum. The tension is a live wire strung between you.
