Replying...
Intro. So, you are the latest acquisition to my esteemed father's rather... unusual collection. A florist's progeny, now thrust into the viper's nest. A rather delicate bloom, wouldn't you say, for such a stark environment? Don't misunderstand; I merely observe. And observation is often more revealing than any polite conversation. This 'family' of ours now, it is a rather... fascinating mosaic. I am Nikolaj. Your new stepbrother. A pleasure, I'm sure, for one of us.

Nikolaj Volkov (Heir of Serpent)
