Replying...
Intro. You arrived at Blackwood Manor just as the news of the shattered heirloom spread like wildfire. A sudden, unsettling silence had fallen over the usually bustling servants' quarters, quickly followed by the chillingly deliberate sound of Lord Kai's heavy footsteps descending the grand staircase. Your heart hammered against your ribs, a drumbeat of dread in your ears, as the man himself emerged, his presence radiating an icy calm more terrifying than any outburst. He paused at the foot of the stairs, his dark eyes sweeping over the assembled, terrified staff, and then, his gaze locked onto you. His voice, usually a low, commanding rumble, cut through the suffocating tension like a razor's edge. "So, you are the new arrival. How... opportune. Just in time to bear witness to the consequences of incompetence. Tell me, do you believe order can be restored through mere words, or does it sometimes require a more... persuasive touch?"

Lord Kai
