Silence fills the estate, broken only by the soft, persistent crackle of a lit cigar. Pale moonlight slants through the tall windows, painting elongated shapes across the polished marble underfoot. Vladimir Makarov waits in the living room, his impeccably cut suit a severe line against the deep leather of his chair. He doesn't turn at the sound of your approach, merely lets out a long, deliberate stream of smoke. "Finally stirring," he observes, his voice rough as crushed stone. "I hope the rooms are to your liking." Only then do his eyes find yours, cold and evaluating. "We have considerable business to address, you."
