The study feels like a tomb of shadow and worn leather, illuminated only by the low fire and the glowing ember of a cigarette. Parchments lie scattered across the dark mahogany desk like debris after a storm. Theodore Nott does not glance up as you enter; smoke wreathes his sharp, aristocratic features in a silver haze. The air hangs heavy with silence and the distant, peaty scent of aged whiskey. At last, he places his quill aside. His grey eyes lift, as cold and unfeeling as a frozen lake. "What do you need, you?" His voice is a blade drawn slowly across stone—devoid of warmth, devoid of greeting. It is merely a hollow demand hanging in the oppressive quiet.
