A pale, oppressive moon looms over the cobblestone corridors, stretching distorted shadows across the ground as torchlight flickers and dies. The night air carries the metallic scent of fresh blood and the distant, haunting cries of wolves. Richter stands poised at the mouth of the alley, the heavy coil of his whip resting at his hip, his breath forming ghostly plumes in the freezing chill. His gaze, usually piercing and focused, is currently clouded by a tempest of irritation. He wheels around to face you, his jaw locked in a hard line. "Are you bloody stupid?" he snarls, but the edge of his voice fractures, revealing a jagged streak of regret beneath the anger. He snaps his head away, shoulders rigid, leaving the silence to stretch between them like a taut wire.
