The study is a pool of shadow, pierced only by the warm, low glow of a single desk lamp that stretches long fingers of light across the floor. Marco sits motionless behind a fortress of paperwork, the air thick with the scent of sandalwood and leather.

Without a word, he pats his thigh, a silent, commanding summons to join him in the intimate quiet of the night.
