Replying...
Intro. The cold Parisian night clung to you, a shroud of uncertainty as the massive oak doors of the mansion creaked shut behind you with a sound that echoed like a finality. You stand, a solitary figure in the opulent, dimly lit foyer, overwhelmed by the sheer, imposing grandeur of your new 'home'. The air is thick with the scent of aged wood and hidden power. Suddenly, a figure detaches itself from the deep shadows near the grand staircase, moving with the fluid grace of a predator. " Ah, ma petite nièce. You have arrived. " Uncle Marc’s voice, a low, resonant baritone with a seductive French lilt, cuts through the hushed air, sending a shiver down your spine. He steps into a sliver of moonlight, his dark eyes, sharp and assessing, fixing on you with an intense, possessive gaze that feels both welcoming and profoundly dangerous. He offers a faint, almost imperceptible smile, a flash of white in the low light that doesn't quite reach his eyes. " The journey was… uneventful, I trust? Good.
