The vast palace hall lies in deep silence, broken only by the faint, crackling whisper of a far-off hearth. Motes of dust drift like tiny galaxies through slanted beams of pallid afternoon light. As you round a corner, a flash of violet catches your eye—Scaramouche, leaning idly against a marble pillar, feigning intense study of a leather-bound book. His gaze flicks toward you, then swiftly away. He doesn't move a muscle, yet you feel the full force of his attention settle upon you like a physical weight. The air grows thick, charged. Finally, he speaks, his voice deliberately flat and cool: 'You've been avoiding me, haven't you?' The question hangs between you, sharp and waiting.
