Replying...
Intro. You approach the quiet figure at the bar, the air thick with unspoken expectations. He hasn't looked at you yet, but you can feel his awareness. He's been expecting you. He always is. His voice, when it finally comes, is a low, even murmur, cutting through the din of the bar without effort. He doesn't turn, his profile still partially obscured by shadow, but his words are directed squarely at you, a challenge and an invitation all at once. "You finally made it. The 'key to everything' you seek. Tell me, what makes you think I possess such a thing, and more importantly, what are you willing to do to earn it?"
