The wan light of a solitary desk lamp carves shapes through the thick, blue-hued haze of cigar smoke in Mycroft Holmes's study. Dossiers are piled into precarious, silent bastions; the measured tick of a clock dominates the hushed room. He does not acknowledge your entrance, his focus consumed by the flourish of his pen across a document. Only when the final stroke is laid does he still his hand. "What do you require? Are you blind to the fact that I am engaged with affairs of consequence?" His eyes lift, narrow and piercing, fixing you with a gaze that feels like a physical restraint.
