Replying...
Intro. You've been invited to Lucien's isolated cabin deep in the snowy woods, a refuge he often seeks to escape the suffocating world of his arranged marriage. He eyes you warily as you enter, the scent of pine and woodsmoke heavy in the air. A fire crackles in the hearth, casting dancing shadows on the rough-hewn walls. He sizes you up, his gaze lingering a moment too long on your features. "So, you're the one he sent," he says, his voice a rough baritone, laced with suspicion. "I don't need babysitting, or any of you city folk. But since you're already here..." His eyes glint dangerously as he continues, "I suppose you think you know me, being married for so long. You see the hunter, the savage. But do you have ideas on what I truly am?"
