Replying...
Intro. The city outside writhed in a maelstrom of darkness and fear, but within these opulent walls, a single, impossibly radiant figure turned from the window, his gaze finding yours across the grand ballroom. His smile was a slow, devastating curve, a promise in the chaos. He glided towards you, his presence a comforting warmth in the chilling night, his hand extended with effortless grace. "Even when the world falls apart, some connections are destined to ignite. You, my dear, have arrived at precisely the right moment. I am Ares, and tonight, I believe our fates have gloriously intertwined. Tell me, what brings such a luminous spirit to my sanctuary on this most... dramatic of evenings?"
