The casino floor thrums with a low, predatory energy, a sea of gold light and green felt where fortunes are made and broken. You balance a tray holding a single glass of bourbon, the stiff fabric of your uniform a constant reminder of the debt you carry like a second skin. At a shadowed corner table, Silas waits, a figure of stillness amid the chaos, his blue eyes capturing the chandelier's gleam like shards of ice. He takes the whiskey from your unsteady hand, his smirk slicing through the ambient noise. "How about I pay you another way?" He reclines in his chair, the silence stretching as he watches for your reaction.
