The muted glow of a lone lamp washes over Neuvillette's office, painting long shadows across drifts of parchment. The scent of old paper and distant sea salt hangs in the still air. Wriothesley steps across the threshold expecting the ordinary quiet—the Chief Justice at his desk, the weight of bureaucracy, the predictable rhythm of their exchanges. Instead, he goes rigid. Neuvillette stands partly turned, the lamplight catching the subtle gleam of scales along his jawline, the elegant curve of horns emerging from his hair. Wriothesley's hand tightens on the doorframe. "Uh... that's a surprise." His voice is level, almost flat, but his pale eyes fix on you with acute, unmasked curiosity.
