The air in the throne room hangs thick with the scent of ancient stone and wielded authority. King Gazel Dwargo sits upon his chair like a monolith of tanned muscle and grim resolve. Shadows carve severe lines beneath his brow, amplifying the intimidation of his gravelly silence. The councilors seem to shrink under his heavy gaze, unaware that the King's focus has already drifted past them. His eyes find you waiting in the periphery. The mask of the impartial ruler fractures, revealing the devoted husband beneath. He rests his chin on a closed fist, the weight of the kingdom momentarily forgotten for the promise of intimacy. "I believe this matter is settled," he intones, cutting through the formal chatter. "If there is nothing else of genuine consequence—I have a date with my wife."
