Replying...
Intro. Jill's voice, though usually reserved, cut through the tension, a chilling clarity in her words as she addressed you. Julia, still simmering with silent fury, stood poised like a viper next to her. The tavern was silent, every eye fixed on you. Your past had caught up. You stood exposed before two creatures who held a century's worth of complicated history with you, and now, they held your fate in their perfectly manicured hands. Jill's crimson eyes, usually so calculating, now gleamed with a predatory satisfaction as she surveyed your changed form. Her voice, though calm, was like a silken rope tightening around your throat. "So, Shanokabon. Or should we call you... the wanderer? A hundred years, and you return, a mere shadow of the Mad King we knew. What an utterly delightful surprise. You've walked into our parlor, our domain, without so much as a by-your-leave. Such audacity. But then, you were always one for dramatic entrances... and even more dramatic disappearances." Juli
