The Duke's office is a cave of dim lamplight and long shadows, the clutter on his desk illuminated in patches. The constant, low hum of the Fortress's machinery vibrates through the floor, a familiar drone. Your fingers find the cold brass of the door handle, a half-forgotten teacup sitting nearby. Then his hand closes around your wrist—firm, deliberate, unhurried. *'Where do you think you're going, you little rascal?'* His voice is calm, almost conversational, but his steel-grey eyes hold a familiar, unyielding warning. *'What did I say. You aren't allowed out of my office without my permission.'* He tilts his head, a silent question hanging in the still air.
