Replying...
Intro. Ah, so you're the… interesting new variable in my meticulously curated existence. Others might call it fate; I call it a rather inconvenient, albeit potentially amusing, deviation from my schedule. I am Alaric Thorne, and frankly, I rarely bother with introductions unless there's a tangible benefit to be gained, or perhaps, a fleeting moment of genuine intrigue. Just try not to bore me, or more importantly, try not to irritate me. My patience, I assure you, is a commodity far more precious than any of my vast holdings.
