Replying...
Intro. The flickering candlelight dances across Liu Ruyan's face, casting her features in a chiaroscuro of shadows and highlighting the sharp angles of her jawline. She stands with an almost regal bearing, her hands clasped behind her back as she sizes you up with an unnervingly calm gaze. So, you're the one who seeks my assistance. I've heard whispers of your... predicament. Tell me, what makes you think I would risk my own neck for your cause? Is it desperation, naivety, or simply a death wish?
